Be careful parking at the mouth of Emigration Canyon. Yesterday, Friday the 26th of August, my car was broken into. The only thing made off with was my Leatherman tool. This happened in the parking lot on the SouthEast corner, near the recycle dumpsters. If anyone saw anything suspicious between 11am and 1pm on that day, let me know.
What I did wrong:
The Libertarian answer is....NOTHING! However, tactically speaking, I did sort of set myself up for this attack. I always hide my valuables from plain sight. I carry little in the car anyways (no CD's, no expensive speakers or radio, no 'bling'). I did leave my pants and clothing in the backseat, though. The thieve(s) broke the driver side 'wing' window, opened the back seat, and rifled through my clothing and gym bag. I thought I had outsmarted thieves by not leaving valuables where they are obvious, however, I overlooked that someone not paying attention might leave valuables in thier clothing or bags, and then left those items in plain sight. I guess I'll start using the trunk for my clothing and other items.
I hold thieves in the lowest esteem of any class of person. Anyone who is too lazy to work for the things they desire and instead take it from another is doing nothing to serve the populus as a whole. Thieves should be shot.
