You don't hear about robbers getting lighter sentences because their victim was wearing an Armani suit or because they left their iPhone on the seat of their car in a bad neighborhood. No one asks a robbery victim, "What did you do to make him rob you? Are you sure you didn't lead him on?"

Do you honestly believe that a person who robs someone who was flaunting their money is some how less guilty of robbery than someone who robs a person who is dressed shabbily? Should the person who robbed the rich guy get less jail time, or perhaps not go to jail at all? That rich person totally deserved it, right? Because looking wealthy is the same thing as consenting to being robbed.

You do hear burglers getting off if the door was unlocked as they then didn't break in. And they will ask you where one's property was, was it locked - and get the answers wrong and no money from one's insurance. Forget one window and it was all the victim's fault.
