Whtehr he left the door unlocked or not, its the thieves fault because he went into his car and took things that werent his.
While that may be true whats the likely hood of someone breaking into the vehicle with nothing visible being of value? Having a locked door and nothing of worth visible is a huge deterrence compared to nothing visible and an unlocked door. It's the thieves fault that the object is now missing(if they didn't take it would still be there obviously) but it would be less likely to be missing if the door was locked. Regardless it could have been worse, the OP could be missing a car.
I chose both. In reality the thief is much more at fault than you (90% / 10% ??), but since we can't remove thieves from the world (lest they found a first-world country down under! j/k I <3 u Aus), it's important to protect yourself.
What the world needs is Lesshammad.
So if a woman gets raped it is partly her fault cause she was walking alone? I know apples to apples. But the thief is 100% responsible.
Depends.
Does this car have electronic locks?
If not, did you have a passenger with you in the hours before the theft?
If yes, now you know who's negligence screwed you over.
There's a reason I ban certain people from riding with me. They don't listen when I say the locks are manual and leave them unlocked every time. Me? Get power locks for people like you at my own cost? When you pay for it!
Lock your doors. Don't leave the GPS in your car. I made a rule to myself, if I take the GPS, I don't leave it in the car. Don't even leave the bracket for it up.

Here the real question
What background was this person ?
What type of neighborhood was it ?
Did they watch and profile you ?
And if was a betting man i know who did it * but i won't say it because i don't want to get banned * and i leave at that
It doesn't matter whether or not you had your car locked, it is still illegal to steal. I see a lot of people are using logic similar to that of people who believe woman that dress up are asking to be raped. It is not a crime to leave your door unlocked. It is a crime to access someones property without their permission and take their stuff.
