Stolen Hand Sanitizer
By an edhat reader
I went shopping for groceries and returned to my car to find the hand sanitizer on my front seat stolen. Has it really come to this? Has any else experienced anything like this?

Mar 11, 2020 06:39 PMTravel ban announced by the crazy man in the WH. People will be out getting their can goods, toilet paper and any hand sanitizer, Clorox or rubbing alcohol tonight and tomorrow. My question, when are were supposed to shelter in place.

Mar 11, 2020 06:10 PMNow that toiletries are worth the price of gold we can file police reports when they get stolen right? “Officer, somebody stole my roll, that was a 700.00 roll of charmin! My husband bought it for me for Valentine’s Day”.

Mar 11, 2020 03:53 PMThat's lower than low. I was shopping yesterday and the thought ran thru my head that I shouldn't leave my cart alone.

Mar 11, 2020 02:59 PMAnd they can resell it for $90 - it has taken on mystical totem qualities, which are actually groundless. But strange times demand strange totems. Use to be crystals; not it is Purell.

Mar 11, 2020 02:30 PMIt doesn't matter if their car was unlocked or window was open. You don't take what is not yours. It is wrong to blame the victim.

Mar 11, 2020 02:46 PM13MARINA - Of course it's wrong to steal. But foolish carelessness on the part of the "victim" simply helps create a crime of opportunity for the low-life who does the stealing. Be sensible and lock up. Win-win. No crime and, thus, no victim.

Mar 11, 2020 02:21 PMNot surprised. Shelves are bare and Costco runs out of hand sanitizer or toilet paper daily. We will see looting when the Coronavirus is more wide spread and the death rate climbs. There are simply too many older people in Santa Barbara compared to other areas. We will have a high incident of people contracting the Coronavirus. People will get desperate and go nuts. Can't blame them. We live in scary times.

Mar 11, 2020 02:32 PMI was re-watching the movie Contagion last night and it is eerily similar to the coronavirus. It's Hollywood of course, so it's over-dramatized and it gets almost apocalyptic at one point, but it does show desperate people looting homes and raiding supply camps for essentials. I hope it doesn't come to that.

Mar 11, 2020 01:02 PMpeople have been known to drink hand sanitizer for the alcohol content. so it may not be corona virus related.

Mar 11, 2020 01:52 PM"... drink hand sanitizer..."
Let's see some verifiable substantiation of that comment. I say it's made up hooey.

Mar 11, 2020 12:51 PMAs someone who never locks their car (but never really has anything in it to steal) I'm sorry to hear it!
Crazy times we're living in where people are chastising people for not hiding their valuables (and said valuables are hand sanitizer).

Mar 11, 2020 11:01 PMSometimes I don't lock my car. But then, with my car, I think a scumbag thief might get a mighty nasty surprise once he invites the attention of my co-pilot. **Woof.** Co-pilot doesn't like unexpected visits, particularly from unknown men. Thieves: open my unlocked car door at your peril.

Mar 11, 2020 12:40 PMI'll bet anything the car was unlocked or window down & hand sanitizer was in full sight. They sound like the type of person that may also leave the wallet & other valuables in plain sight. "You get what you pay for."

Mar 11, 2020 12:22 PMNo just greed on the part of some companies jacking their prices up on masks...

Mar 11, 2020 12:08 PMI actually hid my N-95 mask in my car which I normally leave out and thought I was slightly crazy to do so. Yes I do lock my car.

Mar 11, 2020 12:05 PMSince you didn't say the window was smashed, we presume the car was left unlocked. Will there ever be an end to this kind of post!? We are unable to extend sympathy to careless stupidity.

Mar 11, 2020 02:29 PMWow, what a rude and *curmudgeonly* comment. There are far more tactful and graceful ways to encourage the author to exercise more care in locking their vehicle.

Mar 11, 2020 11:41 AMCould have been worse. Could have been your 10 packages of 18 Super Mega Rolls of Charmin and your 5 cases of Dasani bottled water.

Mar 11, 2020 11:26 AMDon't stick your dirty fingers in your mouth, nose and eyes. You do have a very valid back-up plan to any false reliance on "hand sanitizers".. Pay attention to where you stick your dirty fingers and stop doing it.
