I would think Attractive Nuisance would only play a role if you put a
sign on your car saying, "Hey there are keys in this car!".

Because otherwise, the person would have been considered a thief, and
the injury would have resulted from that bad act.

Do you have any specific examples where this has played out in Alaska?

I'm no lawyer, so I could be all wet here, but this is an interesting
conversation.
