i think the bottom line is (as someone else mentioned earlier)
 it doesn't really matter where you are....... you should always keep your wits about you (some will find this harder than others........  :p  )
 
 and it really doesn't matter what you leave visable in a car..........just don't leave anything visable............
 
 really people.........come on.........why leave anything in a car on show.......? it's like when you see people driving and picking their nose or singing .................we can see you.

Most shocking incident for me in DC.  Went to the museums on the mall with friends.  Well one was from Vermont, she left her wallet VISIBLE on the back seat.  Plain view.  Shockingly, no one broke into my car to get it.
 
 Only time I have had my car broken into was in baltimore on a side street.  I didn't leave anything in view, hid all well before I parked.
 
 Hiding stuff in advance is usually good enough.  Don't park and put a purse or other valuable in the trunk, yes it is out of view, but still it is known to be there.
 
 Rule of thumb, if the incident doesn't make the paper it was nothing serious, was in vegas this past weekend and the mart across the street from our hotel was blocked off with police tape and about 12 cop cars.  Never made the news, guess it wasn't that bad...

i'd like to take this opportunity to rant about something.
 i showed up this past march for the george clinton show, recording gear in hand because the band allows taping ( http://georgeclinton.com/taping_policy.htm ).
 
 when i got there we were told we couldn't bring the stuff in.  now whenever questions are asked to the faq board about what's allowed and what's not, the statement typically is (if a direct answer isn't available) to bring it to the club and if it's not allowed it'll be put in the office to pick up later).  this being the case, we inquired about doing that until the matter could be cleared up because the band does in fact, despite what we were told at the door, allow taping and this issue could have been cleared up.  the response we got to having the gear in the office was 'no'.   when we brought up that it was never a problem/issue before, the response was simply 'not tonight', so i had to go take thousands of dollars of equipment and put it in my car, which didn't make me too comfortable.
 if my car had been broken into that night, i can't guarantee to be able to convey the extent of what my rage would have been.

I'd just like to point out for this overly pc message board, "rule of thumb" comes from medievel England when it was within the law to beat your wife with any stick/whip that was no thicker than your thumb.
