Nice, if i don't lock my door, its my fault they steal my things.

  That is the insurance industry's standard. Which makes bump keys a bit more dangerous, since they don't leave the usual marks indicating your lock was picked. And if you door wasn't locked, the insurance industry won't pay out for losses.

If you leave your car unlocked and someone steals it, it's your fault. Police if have to investigate it etc, but they also give you a ticket, because it not thoughtlessness, they wouldn't have to do it.

Getting a ticket for that does not mean the theft gets blamed solely on the owner so that the thief is not even considered committing a crime. It's just the owner may have violated a law, too. How about you a.) quote those laws, and even assuming you are correct in how you put it, show how b.) one instance of victim blaming would justify another. To me that's like drinking a second bottle of bleach because you already downed one. That runs so much counter my own intuition I'm kind of intrigued.
