2 kids steal guns out of a car at Blucor. Arrested. Ages 11 and 13

The story here isn't that two little miscreants exist, it's the stupidity of the "victim".

-Leave two guns and knife in unattended car (rocket science attempt #1)
-Don't lock car (rocket science attempt #2)

Sorry, not feeling a whole lot of shock/awe on this one.

It is a BIG part of the story. Yes the victim screwed the pooch royally, but these worthless little POS's were trolling the lot, flipping door handles. They exhibited malicious intent to commit crime(s).
Glad the little F'ers were caught, and I hope they are punished accordingly.

while you should lock your doors, I dont think that should mean that dirtbag pieces of shit should steal your stuff.

Should, and won't are two very different times.

Unlocked cars not having stuff stolen from them - Mayberry.
Unlocked cars having stuff stolen from them - urban USA, 2013.

I'm as happy as anyone that they got caught (not that it will do squat to deter them from trying again), but I've grown exceedingly weary of hearing about people getting all hot/bothered because someone stole their iphone/backpack/insert-item-of-choice from their unlocked car.

It's sad that theft is so common but in light of that reality, anyone who nonchalantly leaves valuables in a car, and then has the intellect to leave said car unlocked should not feign surprise when those items go missing. Thieves are sadly to be expected in any American city the size of Denver.
