It's shifting responsibility. And yes, it is an easy target, because the goal is to find someone to yell at; nobody cares about winning lawsuits. It's about DAs finding a scapegoat to yell at, to avoid the fact that they have failed to disincentivize crime. It's not negligence because nobody should be under any obligation to defend their property against theft. It's the job of the state to punish crime.

I'd better never have you watch my property, if you think there's no obligation at all to defend things. Leaving valuable items in the middle of the sidewalk is negligent, even though it's a crime to take it.

  Do you believe women bear responsibility as victims of sexual violence if they put themselves in unsafe circumstances?

    Should women choose to put themselves in unsafe circumstances just to prove a point about how they ought to be able to?

    People are different from property. Jesus what are you doing. Also the correct analogy for the lawsuit would be leaving someone else to unsafe circumstances. Perhaps a vendor that sold the woman pepper spray that didn't spray. Would that vendor be blameless because a crime occurred and only the criminal gets blame? Edit: Though if you really want an in-depth answer to your question, I would say that just by being an autonomous human being you are self-protecting in a way that meets the bar. Your items can't do the same, so you need to apply protections to them if they're in a place with easy public access.
