This has such back to the fifties sentiment (leave door unlocked) and I resent that solely for the fact that women had far fewer rights back then.
Yet I feel for you as I myself still live in a country with a functioning government and a police force that is there to help citizens and not just there to protect the rich.
That said, your approach to porch package thieves is missing the point. You don’t steal if you are doing well. Tons of people barely getting by with little to no safety net. Catch a porch pirate and another steps in. But solving the root cause for theft is a political thing and given current political circumstances, caring about people is seen as weak by half of the electorate.
- mulmen 2y ago> You don’t steal if you are doing well. This is absurd. Rich people steal too. Off the top of my head Bernie Madoff proves this assertion wrong. You’re perpetuating a harmful stereotype that associates poverty with crime.

- mschuster91 2y agoThere's a difference between stealing shit out of a grocery store to survive - but ffs there is no justification for police to let people openly fence stolen goods, looted en masse in flashmobs, on the streets.

Theft wasn’t this bad in San Francisco just ten or twenty years ago. Theft also is worse in SF than it is in places like Alabama/Mississippi where they actually enforce laws.
