Dang dude, where do you live? I'm a lifelong Detroiter and my car has no end of electronic shit inside it, some visible, some not. It's never been touched.
The only times I've had cars broken into were when I was visiting DC and when I was working in San Jose.
So, um, it's not universal?
Stereo thefts are way down tho.. Kinda nice
makes one appreciate being a euro.
i dont even lock my car ...
I live in Europe (the Netherlands) and I most definitely empty my car. I've had two smashed windows, my dad has had one, and besides, it's all uninsured: the insurance companies do not consider the trunk of your locked car a "safe place for valuables".
Which city in Europe?
Most of them. At least most parts of most northern European cities that I have visited.
