Blaming the victims for "inviting burglars"... way to go, MVPD.

So, if I shot a burglar breaking into my car, could I say the he invited the bullet?

"When leaving such items out, Wylie said, "You are essentially doing a disservice to the rest of your apartment community. You are inviting [burglars onto your home turf.""
What a SILLY SILLY comment by the police department to say....

It's true, though. I've lived in the same place in MV for five years, never had a problem at all. I never leave stuff in my car at night. But a few weeks ago I left a bag of stuff for Goodwill in the back of my car, and would-be thieves smashed my back window, but luckily because it was right outside my house and I was awake and out there immediately, they ran before being able to take anything. There's no excuse for not being street smart.
