Seth Rogen was chastised on Twitter on Wednesday for downplaying the rise in car-related thefts in Los Angeles, claiming it’s all part of “living in a big city.”

The Canadian actor, 39, was responding to YouTuber Casey Neistat, who tweeted that his cars had been “robbed” earlier that morning, branding Los Angeles a “crime riddled 3rd world sh-thole.”

Neistat wrote on twitter saying, “so our cars got robbed this morning because Los Angeles is a crime-riddled 3rd world shithole of a city but tremendous appreciation and gratitude to the hardworking officers at the @LAPDWestLA who not only arrested the motherfucker but they got all of our stolen goods back.”

“Dude I’ve lived here for over 20 years. You’re nuts haha. It’s lovely here. Don’t leave anything valuable in it. It’s called living in a big city”, Rogen wrote in response.

But Neistat, who has 2 million followers, maintained, saying he was still “violated.”

When Neistat asked if he “can still be mad,” Rogen responded, “You can be mad but I guess I don’t personally view my car as an extension of myself and I’ve never really felt violated any of the 15 or so times my car was broken in to.”

The comedian added, “Once a guy accidentally left a cool knife in my car so if it keeps happening you might get a little treat.”

Neistat responded “I didn’t get any treats. He just took the decorations for my daughter’s 7th birthday party and left bloody handprints. serious question; how did you get your car broken into 15 times?”

Rogen’s statements sparked a flood of harsh and snarky responses, with users accusing the actor of being out of touch with reality and deaf to everyday people’s difficulties.

“Ah, yes, the millionaire is not bothered, so the rest of us don’t bother as well. Check your bubble, Seth,” remarked one Twitter user. “I, too, am unbothered when one of many cars gets broken into. I just ask my assistant to get it all cleaned up and repaired. What’s the big deal?” tweeted Noam Blum, associate editor at Tablet magazine, in reaction to Rogen’s remarks.

Some chastised the “Knocked Up” star for his “bad take,” arguing that residing in a huge metropolis like Los Angeles shouldn’t be used to downplay violence.

“I wish I could live such a carefree existence,” another critic replied.

“Imagine not being rich and someone breaking into your car,” another comment read. “Then imagine celebrities saying it’s not a big deal.”

Another user wrote, “White rich privilege at its finest,” adding “Majority of Americans simply do not live with the luxury of not valuing their vehicle as an extension of themselves. The majority of Americans rely solely on their vehicles for daily events.”

Rogen concluded his commentary late Wednesday, responding to the onslaught of critics who continued to criticize him for his earlier tweet on the subject.

“A lot of people come at me and talk sh-t on Twitter hoping I’ll engage with them publicly and give them attention, but instead I DM them and tell them to go f-ck themselves privately,” Rogen tweeted. “It’s a lot more fun.”

“Not as much fun as it was for me, I assure you,” Bilinsky responded, attaching a screenshot of direct messages allegedly sent to him by Rogen.

Rogen’s remarks come after a weekend filled with mob-style smash-and-grab burglaries at upmarket department stores like Louis Vuitton and Nordstrom. One of the thefts allegedly featured 80 people attacking a Nordstrom shop in the San Francisco Bay Area.
