      It's a risk assessment - like everything else in life. Back in the day it was perceived to be less of a risk - as evidenced by the fact that so many people did it. Now it's too risky.

      My point is that there is a transition between those two points and that someone will inevitably the the last one to be a victim before the general consensus is that it's too risky.

        I am sure that the McCanns would not leave their £357,000 unattended in the villa while they go out to dinner.

            Most people walking past a house who saw a big pile of cash unattended would be tempted to grab it. The same would not be said of a toddler.

              You believe that?
              You feel tempted to steal someone else's property just because you can see it?

              That says a lot about you.

                    Yes, but equally, if DA saw the toddler unattended he'd be in there getting them to sign an Opt Out form, an exclusive representation agreement and asking them for references.
