I grew up in a small city in the US and was taught early on to never leave any property in view in your car. The US also has a worse issue than other parts of the world because people often leaves guns in their cars.
Why does people leaving guns in cars make the stealing worse?

#682> The new AirTag is designed with the environment in mind, with 85 percent recycled plastic in the enclosure, 100 percent recycled rare earth elements in all magnets, and 100 percent recycled gold plating in all Apple-designed printed circuit boards. The paper packaging is 100 percent fiber-based and can be easily recycled. I'm no material scientist, but this seems pretty impressive to me that Apple's economy of scal…
Do they disclose who the manufacturers are and what standards do they adhere to when recovering cobalt from scrapped batteries?

People steal due to economic issues, not their ethnicity.
Africa has economic issues.
People of all ethnicities all over the world steal. Plenty of immigrants work extremely hard and don't steal.
I truly can't believe my statement was 'controversial' and down vote worthy. I mean who cares about the HN points...but really??

did you feel really smart putting that totally made up "because people often leaves guns in their cars" in there?

It's not your fault for leaving your property in your car. Wild to say that.
Ahem. There are neighborhoods in the US where you leave nothing in your car because otherwise your car will become a target. It's often "the rule" in these places that you also leave the doors unlocked because that way "they" won't break your window trying to get in. They open the door, see there's nothing of value to steal and move on. In other places in the US it's (still but fading) normal to leave your car doors…

Absolutely not the case. This is just what overly online people think.
There's a recent video of a woman getting arrested, not for the first time, for admitting that she might be praying to herself inside her head, silently. Here's an article I searched up about it: https://adfinternational.org/news/uk-christian-woman-crimina...
Most would agree that 150 people standing in front of the abortion clinic would obviously an attempt to impede or influence people. What if someone stands there "praying" but really noting faces and license plates for future harassment? Where does the law draw that line?
The ADF is a discriminatory, corrosive organization that has done real harm to millions by rolling back civil rights in the US, and now they have taken their agenda internationally.
The hypocrisy of calling this a "thought crime" is stunning. ADF is the same organization that brought a case against a Colorado law that banned discrimination against LGBTQ businesses, because a baker was worried she may have to bake a cake for a gay wedding - which she was never asked to do. So some thoughts are legally protected (prayer) while others (concern) are justifications to roll back civil rights. But the thoughts of others (terror and shame while entering an abortion clinic, feelings when discriminated against, love for a same sex partner) are irrelevant and not worthy of protection.
Their stated purpose is "advancing every person’s God-given right to live and speak the truth" - but only "live" and speak the "truth" that they deem to be correct, based on their evangelical and politically-charged interpretation of Christianity. And they want that legislated.

Yes, the place she thought needed her prayers. How is that important?
What are your views on abortion? I believe in free access. I also believe those going to get an abortion shouldn’t be impeded by protesters in the immediate vicinity when getting their healthcare.

#690For anyone outside the U.S where most likely people around you will have Android devices and not iPhones, you are better off ordering trackers that are compatible with Google Find My Device They're cheaper and allows third parties, plus the network is stronger.
