Bronco got broken into last night

I've never had any issues with my vehicle with the good, old faithful TM!

Not to mention placing anything loose and of value in the cargo area of the vehicle so it can't be readily seen through a window.

Even spare change. The truly desperate will break a window just for a handful of change and think nothing of it.

Exactly. Doesn't matter if the item left in a vehicle is of little or no value. Could be an empty bag, thief doesn't know bag is empty, and it puts you on thief's radar.

After a bad break-in several years ago when stopped in Omaha, where a bunch of stuff was stolen from our vehicle because it was visible, I leave absolutely nothing in my vehicles when parked away from home. It's mostly a crime of opportunity, thief sees something through the glass, smash and grab. They see nothing in my vehicle, maybe they go to the next car, no point in smashing the glass.
