Yea, sure... That's why when I've got tools, equipment, and materials in the back of my truck I leave a worker bee to watch the truck while I'm in Home Depot or the like... You don't and those "guys hanging out on the corner by Home Depot" will rob you blind in an instant.

Hello T. A. Gardner,
Prejudice works in strange ways.
I would be vastly more concerned about the fired loser white guy in the old pickup with the Trump sticker who parks nearby than the friendly group on the corner with no car, no place to conceal stolen goods, no easy escape, and everything to lose.
Better yet, just get a lockable work van like all the other electricians. And that will protect the stuff from the elements as well.

Hello T. A. Gardner,
Hey, nice job. Good imagination. Check under the carpets for all those hidden crimes. Crimes by definition, but victimless non violent crimes just the same. I hope you don't think that's what Trump was referring to when he said 'they are bringing crime.'

I had two thefts in the last two weeks in the scummy parts of town. One was a hammer drill a transient grabbed. My truck watch guy went to the bathroom. The other was more expensive. They got a three piece case of mostly parts but some expensive test equipment too. The cops are looking for that equipment to show up at a pawn shop because its all very unusual stuff except for an high end electrician to have.
My carry mix varies considerably from day-to-day. I also can't carry a 7.5 KW portable generator in a van (gasoline in an enclosed space is a no-no). It's something you frequently need because you are working on putting in the electrical power so there is no on-site electrical power.
In Arizona, anybody who's lived here awhile will have stories about illegals. Hit and runs, accidents, car theft where you vehicle ends up in Mexico.

the study has a statistical fallacy built into it.....it measures the incidents of crime per 100,000 persons overall.......for a true comparison of which class causes more crime you would have to compare legal residents committing crimes per 100,000 legal residents with illegal immigrants committing crimes per 100,000 illegal immigrants......
statistics aren't provided, but if for example, one in one thousand people are here illegally then, if 96 illegals commit crimes versus 216 legal residents, then illegals are actually 2,000% more likely to commit violent crime than legal residents.......
