Well I moved into a new apartment complex and my car was stolen. I haven’t been here for a week and I’m kinda paranoid because being a dumb teen and hanging around the wrong crowd I feel I’ve made enemy’s. I hate admitting that I was stupid enough to leave my keys in the car and they had my apt keys attached. I’ve filed a police report but who knows. I was asking for it and I got it never leave your keys in the car.

Likely a victim of opportunity. Car was probably stolen by a kid that lives in your complex.
If you had enemies, they probably would have just fucked your car up, or kicked your ass.
Hope you had enough insurance to cover your loss. If not, let that be your takeaway from this.
Insurance should help cover it. I feel like you’re probably right. Just can’t help but to shake the thought which is off to me.
If someone in your apartment complex did steal it wait and see if they bring it back because well dumbasses do exist
Many car thefts are simply crimes of opportunity. Someone will go through a neighborhood or parking garage or parking lot and pull every door handle, just to see which ones open. If they find an unlocked door, they rifle through whatever's in the car to see if there's anything worth stealing. And if they find a car key... well, they just take the whole thing, even if they won't know what to do with the car once they're done riding around. The best thing you can do for your car in an apartment complex is keep nothing in it and keep it locked. That way the people just trying door handles won't get in, the people who'd be willing to break a window to steal something won't see anything worth breaking a window for, and the people who would hop in and go for a ride won't be able to drive it.
I'm sorry, that must be scary.
I hope I’m just paranoid
It might be time to move back to your parents (or some family member’s) home and regroup. You might need a direction shift. It’s a great time to go to college. I was 26 when I became a Freshman and no one in my family history had ever gone to college. It’s time to discover what you want from your life and then spend 100% of your time working for it. You’re never too old to start over.
Just out of curiosity, how old are you?
24
I'm surprised nothing has happened to you before to know not to leave your keys in the car.. next step is you need to have the locks changed on your apartment.
I’m getting that done tomorrow morning

I was referring to the past but thank you.
