Obviously being careful with your belongings, as with your personal safety, makes a lot of sense to avoid harm. However, clearly, if someone steals your things, or attacks you, it is irrelevant if you did or did not take care of your stuff: The blame lies with the perpetrator of this action, not with the victim. That they forgot their laptop at the x-ray machine, does not entitle anyone else to just take it. Therefore: > I feel he should share some of the blame. is wrong.
