Alexis was on her way to work on a very chilly, dark morning. She stopped at the gas
station for a coffee and decided to leave her car running so it was warm when she
got back in. After two minutes in the store, and after securing herself a delicious
caramel macchiato, she went to get in her car....but it was gone. Someone pumping
gas said he saw a man get in and take off - he didn't know it wasn't his.
Where does Alexis fall on the continuum of responsibility?

Answer 1

I think it might be Facilitation. Based on the text you gave, it seems like she first, kept her car running, and also seems like she didn’t lock her car. She basically helped whatever car jacked that was waiting there, steal her car. She didn’t take any steps to help secure her car and prevent a crime like that. She facilitated. I’m not sure if this is right btw just seems to me this answer would make sense.
