The reality is that you're responsible for your purchases. Pretend that you're a shepherd and your purchases are your flock. Who's fault is it when a shepherd loses a lamb? This requires that you be mindful and keep an eagle eye on your sheep... err I mean your stuff unless, of course, you're actually buying sheep or lamb.
