She's dumb. It reminds me of the woman in the news this morning who let a homeless man borrow her Platinum card. LUCKILY (and surprisingly), he brought her card back after he bought some vitamin water and cigarettes. If he had not brought it back, the whole world would laugh at her as she calls the police and contacts her bank. There would be no sympathy for an idiot (good samaritan and generosity should never be confused with dumb).

Now that the tangent is over, LOL, I was moreso talking about people who base "common sense" on what they see in their day to day lives or things that they think about. It doesn't exist if they don't see it/know about it/think about it. For example, many people's "common sense" tells them that newer and "nicer" vehicles are the ones that are stolen when instead older models are more frequently stolen or have things stolen from them. So, people will leave older cars unguarded and also do things like leave their navigation systems on the windshield all of the time. People need to be smart and realize that the things that they assume based on "common sense" aren't always the case.
