I don't think any of the three statements make much sense. I think they're only acceptable because we live in an individualist society and not a collectivist one.
You can't control a criminal's actions. If a person wants to steak a bike badly enough, then the lock will be broken or picked and it won't matter how nice the bike is. If they want to steal a phone badly enough, they'll hold a weapon to that person's head and demand their phone and it won't matter what kind of phone it is. If they want to rape someone badly enough they'll do it, and it won't matter what that person is wearing, what the person's age is, or even whether they're male or female.
When I hear that a friend's been stolen from, whether it's their bike or their phone or their sexual actions, my first response is along the lines of "whoever that shithead was who did this, I hope they get what's coming to them."
