It's your fault your car got stolen

New Haven (WTNH) _ Police say careless drivers are to blame for the recent rash of car thefts in the Elm City.

Leaving your car running with the keys in the ignition for just a few minutes could cost you your car.

Sure, it's not the best idea to leave your keys in a running car unattended but that's not the point. The fact of the matter is that my car belongs to me. Nobody should be stealing my shit. This is like saying it's my fault my stuff gets stolen because I own stuff. Come on, NHPD.

This use of twisted logic is the only stupidity dropping from the mouths of the NHPD. To help curtail car theft the NHPD is suggesting you comply, no, submit, to anytime, anywhere, no reason at all, vehicle searches:

The City of New Haven is part of a national "Watch Your Car" program. They will give you a sticker to put on your car windshield. It allows police to pull over your car at any time and if the driver is not supposed to be in the car, they will arrest them.
We should all be so lucky to have this type of policing in our cities and towns.

Yeah. I think I've finally found some focus for it. To rant about New Haven and all the reasons I can't stand it.

I don't expect to run out of material anytime soon.
