"Part of the problem is that people are leaving valuable belongings in their cars"
So the problem is that there is stuff in the cars. Funny, I thought the problem is that there are evil dudes out there who think it's okay to rob others. But that's just me.

This story includes the reported thefts. Cumbersome procedures and a lack of response from police dissuade some from reporting minor thefts.

A very good rule of thumb is anytime you plan to park is to put your valuables in the trunk or some storage area before you get to your destination. I've seen on TV where robbers show how they watch people to put stuff in their trunk or try to hide things in the glove box or under their seat when they park. Those nefarious experts can easily see that.

My hometown in Texas had to institute sundown laws to address a spate of auto burglaries. Not saying it's the right thing to do but it was far more effective than telling people to hide their possessions.
