Teenagers don't come out to the LRT just so they can break into some cars 20 blocks away from the station in Arbour Lake. The "riff-raff" probably already lives there.

The riff-raff doesn't live there. The majority don't live in their communities and the majority aren't teenagers. Its a very easy, convenient form of transportation for them and now opens up new communities to target.
Furthermore to that, and especially with the Crowfoot station (and I guess soon to be the Tuscany/Rocky ridge station), is that that is where the Remand Centre drops off people.
And its not 20 blocks away to Arbour Lake. You can get to the west side of Arbour Lake in about 2-3 minutes if you go up past the 7-11 in Crowfoot.
