> My way to deal with car crime is not owning a car, with the extra income I can afford to mostly use ridesharing for most of my needs and rent a car for the rest of them.
That is mind boggling to Americans outside of SF though. That’s the equivalent of telling people not to “dress slutty” if they don’t want to be raped.

So crime against your car and your person are two completely different things so I don't think it's equivalent at all. Also I am not "less free" because I don't have a car, everything I would do in my life with one I do with more expensive services. If I needed a car I would get one and deal with car crime in other way, maybe moving to another city, maybe organizing a militia to defend cars. By not dressing however you want because of fear you are giving away something.
