#26 the cars in the Bronx , NYC (poor) and in Palo Alto, California (rich)

Like the story said, we immediately predetermine our opinions based on factors such as geography, in this case, however, it just goes to show that we can't always discriminate a group of people living in a certain area or expect them to perform certain acts. In this case, in the Bronx, the majority of the people who vandalized the car were people who were well dressed or drove cars themselves. The part about the Father, the eight-year-old son, and the Mother all working together to steal parts from the car shocked me. I believe that the over all message of the story is don't judge individual people based on where they live or things that happen in the area that they might live in, because it could be the complete opposite type of person performing the crimes.
