Vagrants a Problem?

Sitting having a morning coffee in a cafe, I watched these two homeless people case my car, then open the door to have a look inside.
I went out to quietly ask them why they are going through an obviously empty car.
One piped up and said we need a lift,
"Well I'm not going anywhere so I can not help you."
The other said, "I only got $2 can you lend me some money"?
"I never carry cash" was my reply.
"So as you can see, there is nothing worth stealing in my car so can I go back to enjoying my coffee?"
They slowly walked away.
You may ask why my car was unlocked? I would rather people freely rifle the car than break the glass to get in.
Nothing of value is left in my car so there is no problem leaving it unlocked.

I didn't know you had a homeless problem Down Under. I thought it was a good decent place full of good people.

@hunkalove The reality is that Australia's homeless problem is growing at an alarming rate.
Neither Political Party wants to address the issue. They would rather waste $50 Billion buying Submarines from France.
The US homeless rate is 17 people per 10,000.
Australia's is 50 people per 10,000

@CoffeeFirst It is when one considers Australia is supposed to be "The Lucky Country"
We are a rich nation but if you are down on your luck then too bad. No one is going to look after you.
