I didn't know that. Is it possible, then, that a person who leaves their door unlocked is punished while the person who stole and dumped the car is not?

Wtf, no. The person stealing the car is of course punished as a thief. (Unless he doesn't get caught, obviously.)

And is that not a classic case of victim blaming?

It is victim blaming, but some countries obviously deem that acceptable behavior, to the point of putting it into law.
