It depends on the driver and the area you're from. In front of my home, I rarely lock my car.

- mseebach 14y agoNo, it depends on who you can blame (and sue) if someone steals your car.
- stcredzero 14y agoDepending on the jurisdiction, you could be liable for stuff that happens if someone steals your unlocked car.
- jessaustin 14y agoIf this is a common thing, how does the party holding you liable typically show that the car was unlocked?
- stcredzero 14y agoUsually a confession by the perp, and/or by the owner. It's not unusual at all for people not to know the details of the law like this and blurt out factoids, and for there to be harsh but difficult to enforce laws in the US.
- jessaustin 14y agoI'd expect a "confession" by one who stole a car to be worth very little in a civil action by a third party against the owner of that car.
- stcredzero 14y agoIf the "confession" is from a known car thief, sure. If from a neighborhood kid with an otherwise clean record, then not so much.
