I grew up in a small city in the US and was taught early on to never leave any property in view in your car. The US also has a worse issue than other parts of the world because people often leaves guns in their cars.

I grew up in a small town and we didn't even lock the doors to our home. Never had anyone come and steal anything.
Why does people leaving guns in cars make the stealing worse?
Guns are a high value item that can then be used anonymously to commit further crimes later on.
Because the thief gets a gun.
did you feel really smart putting that totally made up "because people often leaves guns in their cars" in there?
Not made up at all. In large parts of the US people leave guns in their cars all the time. It ends becoming one of if not the largest source of stolen guns.

You obviously didn't Google this, since there are states in America where the people are PROUD to show off the guns and gun racks in their trucks. Yes, they proudly display these guns. (Texas, looking at you)

I can’t tell if you think people obviously do leave guns in their car, and GP should know better than add the phrase in, or, that nobody does, and GP should know better.
I can tell you have seen people do both in different parts of the country.
