Why don't you ask him?

Because when you're a teenager, you feel there are no deadly consequences for your actions.

Because if you're on drugs, you're not fully coherent as to what's going on.

Because you don't expect to be shot for breaking into some vehicles.

Because you think that if you're not threatening the cops, they are not going to just shoot you.

I don't know why, perhaps you should ask him.
