Out-of-state couple's car broken into at Albuquerque hotel [View all]

This happens all the time here in Albuquerque and gets posted to the local 'NextDoor' forum. People are SHOCKED that it happens, yet similar car break ins are a common post on local forums.

News story:
A couple was just traveling through Albuquerque when their car was broken into. They stopped at a hotel near the interstate on their way to Colorado.

They got in around midnight and were planning to leave at 6 a.m. so they didn't bother to unload their car. When they woke up the next morning, everything inside was gone.
Including clothes, jewelry and a set of golf clubs; some of those belongings are irreplaceable.

I typically respond folks need to be responsible for themselves and their belongings and then I get accused of "attacking the victim".
I'm told people should be able to leave valuables in their vehicles overnight and have them be there in the morning.
