        Dude also just injected a bunch of assumptions into his post and forgot I stayed to put 20% of what your payment was into an account for repairs.

      Wherever you live sounds like a shithole.

      At my last place where we live for over a decade we had nice patio furniture and garden tools out on the front lawn and the only time something was touched is when a neighbor borrowed it for a day. Never had so much as a little kids toy taken.

      You should hop in your car and move someplace where people don’t steal your shit. It’s easier than you think to set up in a new area ( I’ve done it multiple times in my life with less than $100 in my pocket. ) people only think they are stuck and it become a self fulfilling prophecy.

          New York is pretty safe now.

          District of Columbia,
          Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Louisiana, New Mexico, Hawaii, Arkansas, South Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, Delaware, Missouri, Arizona, Oklahoma, California, Montana, North Carolina, Kansas, Utah, Minnesota, Nevada, Nebraska, and Vermont

          All have higher larceny theft rates.

      I live in NJ and my last car before this had a 100mile round trip commute on it. Last I checked they salt the roads. I don’t do any maintenance on my car. I take it in for service at the dealer during the finance period and then a local shop near me for larger repairs. I take it to a valvoline for oil changes. Last car I retired needed a total of 6grand in repairs over its life that weren’t regular maintaine. That is why I said to take 20% of the payment and put it in a bank account for repairs. You should read another person’s posts before making a bunch of self serving assumptions to make your self feel better
