Not that long ago, you could leave everything in the boat and not have to worry about it.
Society on the decline.
I really feel sorry for my grandkids and what it looks like they will have to deal with as they get older.

Where? I don't think there has ever been such a thing as a populated city that was immune from thievery. Small towns and communities don't suffer because everyone knows everyone, but moving to a bigger city changes this. Or when a city grows very large.
Thieves in populated areas have existed since the beginning of man... It's always been that way, just a true as sleeping on the ground in Africa can get you eaten.
Why build a shop? To protect things from elements (or thieves). Why put gas in your boat? To prevent it from dying. Why wear shoes? To prevent your feet from getting messed up. Why out a roof on a house? Shingles? Drainage? These are all things we do to prevent things that we KNOW will happen!
How come locking valuables up is something we shouldn't have to worry about when every thing else in our life has some sort of preventative action associated with it????
Ask any old person you come across 70 yrs and up if they have ever had something stolen from them back in the day...... I've done it, and it's always been around!
