This is not in any way the victims fault and to even suggest that is wrong. That kind of thinking is a huge contributor to why we have this problem.
I think some may have gotten the wrong idea when I asked if the key was left in the cart. It is easy to do. I did that one time in our church parking lot. Good thing Lutherans are honest.

Of course the perps are bad folk and deserve to be locked up.

Common sense applies in The Villages like anywhere else. Don't leave keys in the cart, car, front door open, garage open, etc.

The perps probably would have moved to easier pickings if they were not in the cart - but a crime of opportunity presented itself. Ask the insurance company.
