"stolen from his unlocked car while it was parked in his driveway overnight. A laptop, iPod, calculator, CD's, MontBlonc pen, and $1,000 in cash were stolen, police said. "
Seems likely to me. Don't we all leave those type items in an unlocked car? I mean why wait in line at a bank!

The humor is trying to believe that story. While we all should feel secure that what belongs to us, stays with us, you have to be totally naive to leave unopened in a car in this day and age. Do most of us walk around with $1000? And then leave it in a car? Sorry Leonard, it doesn't happen to anyone
