This Guy is Certainly Guilty of Felony Stupidity

I usually ignore these stories. I see more of them than you might guess, but they usually happen in the dead of winter when they want to leave the heater on. (Not a valid reason) Tulsa Police: No arrest made after man accused of trying to steal car was shot at Dollar General

Pro tip. Do. Not. Leave. Your. Car. Running. Not for an instant. Not while you just run into the store/house for something you forgot. Do. Not. You may as well put a sign on top of the vehicle that says, "Steal Me!"

In this particular case I don't really care if he was justified, or not. He was an idiot.

He explained that he came to the Dollar General to pick up a family member and left his car running and unlocked in the parking lot.

The man said he noticed somebody getting inside of his car while he was in the store and ran outside to confront him.

What do you think is going to happen? Do you really think that there are no bad people in your neighborhood? Do you really believe that you are protected by your zip code? You are not. And you are an idiot.

Sadly, felony stupidity is not a crime in Oklahoma.

And yes, someone will say, "But you should be able to ..." In a perfect world, people would leave your car alone. People would not break into your home. But in case you hadn't noticed, that "perfect world" is in a different zip code.
