It's true, though. I've lived in the same place in MV for five years, never had a problem at all. I never leave stuff in my car at night. But a few weeks ago I left a bag of stuff for Goodwill in the back of my car, and would-be thieves smashed my back window, but luckily because it was right outside my house and I was awake and out there immediately, they ran before being able to take anything. There's no excuse for not being street smart.
