This strikes me as such an odd law. Does CA feel the same about houses? Can one go break into a house and get away with it if the homeowner can't prove the doors were locked? I suspect not and, so, if not, why not? What was the impetus for such a law to begin with? Was there a rash of people leaving their cars unlocked and some politician decided it "serves them right" for getting broken into? The questions abound!
- svachalek 7y agoThis year someone broke into my car in my driveway, got the garage door opener, opened the garage, stole some things there, opened the door into the house from the garage since we didn't habitually lock it back then, stole some things from the common areas while we slept in the bedrooms, then left a small pile of inferior loot from other stops in our front yard, some with nametags still on it. While I credit the police for showing up and putting a minor effort into investigating it, they were certainly not taking pictures and fingerprints and all the stuff you expect from TV. The attitude was mostly "eh, teenagers get up to bad stuff, make sure to lock your doors."
