If someone steals your car from your driveway and drives it into the side of a building are you responsible, if you left your keys in the car? If someone breaks into your house and steals a gun and shoots someone are you responsible because your gun was not in a safe? What if you open a plastic bag of peanuts on an airplane and someone has an allergic reaction? Should you have informed everyone on the plane that you were about to open a bag of peanuts? Am I my brother's policeman?
