Sounds like Dad should pay more attention to his environment, and to securing his work van ...
sounds like someone needs to understand I'm not going to inspect my car every god damned morning with a clipboard like some kind of an obsessed psychopath.
my dad did the above for 40-ish years. I did it with him for about 10.
never did we "pay attention to our environment". know why? because we were too preoccupied with making sure we had all the shit we needed for the day. like water, food, and most importantly tools/materials.
know what sucks? getting to a job site and realizing you forgot your one tool that's required to work that day.
know what doesn't suck? bringing your cat to work by mistake. if anything, it might just be the highlight of your day because you have a truck-buddy that's soft and fluffy and will not ask about moving a wall or bitching about how the pitch of your sewer outlet is too low.
You know, there's many places in the world were you can leave your front door open for days without any fear that someone will steal from you. I would never assume that I have to secure my vehicle at all times.
Also, have you met a cat? They basically roll a nat 20 on every goddamn stealth check when they want to.
