People use their laptops on the muni (lightrail) in plain view. It would be so easy for someone to just snatch if off their lap. I too have become complacent in this regard. When I lived in Austin and went to school, I made sure that everything was locked up and nothing, not even my crappy walkman, was in plain view. People steal things for weird reasons or no reason at all. I'd rather not be a target. I think our neighborhood is kind of an anomaly though. Nothing gets stolen from our apartment complex. People leave their bikes out unlocked. It's weird and it does give me a false sense of security. In Austin, I was never a victim of crime, but I took care to watch out for little things. I'd even worry if I left my sprinkler out on the lawn all day. Someone could take it. Sure, it was 8.99 to replace it, but people stole stupid little stuff like that all the time.
