But I don't think your analogy is quite complete. The owner of a
Ferarri, recognizing the high value of the car and its attraction to
thieves, would be sure to have adequate insurance and not leave the keys
in the car to invite the thief. Uploading a high res photo (and I don't
know if she did so), IMHO, is inviting the thief. The thievery is still
despicable in any case but I just don't understand posting a high res
image if that's what happened.
