My boyfriends car was broken into a night ago in our neighborhood but nothing was stolen he says. He didn’t tell me until a full day later and only because I asked him why does he keep peaking out the window at his car. He said he didn’t plan to tell me because he didn’t want me to worry. I felt like that’s something I needed to know to be even more cautious. Not only that, he refuses to do anything about it. We have great neighbors so I have no idea who it could’ve been. Our neighbor has a camera facing where our cameras are parked so I asked him why don’t he go ask them can he see their camera. He said that was stupid and he wasn’t doing that. He told me to do it myself since I care so much. Or buy my own camera and set it up since I’m so worried. Then he says it’s his fault because he left his car unlocked. I’m worried because I leave and come from work when it’s night time so I could be in harm out there alone. Apparently he’s not thinking that deep or he just doesn’t care. He says if they try to rob him at least he has a gun. I don’t have a weapon and I feel like to just make me feel safe the least he could do is go look at the camera and see what happened and who it was. It could be someone we speak to in passing or something and don’t even know. At least we’d know who to beware of. I don't know, I guess for my safety I’d have to take that into my own hands because he doesn’t seem to care. Now I don’t feel safe or protected. Am I overreacting and what should his response have been? What would you have done?
What would a man do in this situation to protect himself and his woman?

You could carry a gun too or maybe some pepper spray. Invest in more lighting like those that have the solar that charge during daytime and are motion sensitive at night. They're LED and pretty bright when someone approaches.
True. I guess it’s time I do get my own protection.
He's definitely being an airhead. I would file a complaint and try to get the person caught.
Exactly! We have really nice and older working people as neighbors so it could be someone from a few places down or just a random. I’d like to know. I just feel as a woman I shouldn’t have to be the one to take all these things into consideration and take action. But I will figure it out myself if needed.
You definitely should, and that's a huge red flag in my opinion.
Cars get broken into, it’s usually not a big safety concern and there’s rarely anything the cops can do so you’re kinda making this a bigger deal than it needs to be
