topless

Thieves are stealing because they do not want to work for money. The idea they would hide in the van waiting to to start a gunfight is silly. Since they do not know the background of the person they would be confronting, it could be a pistol packing grandma or a Navy Seal on vacation.
Thieves are not looking for anything but items to sell for quick cash. Period. They like smash and grab, quick in and out without having to deal with people in the process. They do not like spending a long time inside searching. If they can't see it, or can't find it fast, they leave.
I am a very careful person. I observe all around when I park, noting anybody hanging around that looks out of place or seems too interested in what I'm doing. I never leave anything that remotely looks like it could contain valuables in plain sight. Not even boxes or store sacks. No dangling electric cords, that would make them think something could be inside. I stash all that stuff so if someone looks in the windows, the van looks empty of sellable items.
