R u so paranoid that u think people are gonna steal it? I mean it might happen but I live in quite a rough place and I wouldnt even be worried abt that

Some people will steal anything they think they can sell for a couple bucks -- particularly addicts. Some people just suck and will think the owner deserves to have it stolen for not securing it.

You're banking on not a single one of those people seeing it and taking it. It's not hard to sell it for cheap to someone who'll list it on ebay.

I've had people attempt to Rob me in my own home, had bricks thrown in my window for literally no reason and had attepted night burglaries. Basically, I live in a rough area and I'd genuinely be suprised if someone stole an electric car charger. I've left much more valuable things outside by accident without them being stolen.
