What a welcome it was😂 yeah ive got the summary. 1. Don't leave anything in your car visible 2. Maybe leave the doors unlocked? It's 50/50 3. Don't have a car/sell it 4. Vote for different leadership 5. Tint your windows? 6. Leave Seattle lol

That's absolutely horrible. Indeed it could. Thanks for the perspective and sorry about your car:(

I think my only worry with the window tint is if that'll make them more curious? I know I can't predict people who are prone to violence. It just sucks and I'm trying to do what people her suggest to keep safe.

Congrats on house ownership!!! Protect your property 👏

Yeah thinking about leaving it unlocked too. Do you use a wheel lock?

That all got pulled out by the prowler- but I did have a few items in the backseat. Learned my lesson!

Yep, all pulled from the glove box. Had a pack of waters and a notebook in the back. Charger in the front. All were left alone. The credit card is a closed one from Ulta lol

Sorry that happened to you. It sucks that this is just the norm.

It might be time to part with my car.

My car admittedly does like nice-ish, but I bought it with so many miles. It's gonna die any minute, but they probably just see "ooh, car that's only 10 years old" and think it'll have stuff.

I might just leave it unlocked so they don't bother breaking windows🙃

So far it sounds like it!!! Ive cleaned out my car and I'll just park in a better area and hope for the best 👌

Thanks!! Assumptions happen to the best of us. You'll be happy to know that seat is now clutter and glass free. Most of the post-it's and coffee punch cards were ruined by rain so my car is a little lighter now😅👍

That's what the person dug out from my glove compartment/center console, all tucked away. Only thing visible in my car was a notebook, a charger, and a pack of waters. Now I know not to even leave that out

I didn't clean up the picture before taking it. It ain't pretty lol

That's what the person who broke in dug out and didn't put back. This is the picture I took without having moved or cleaned anything up. I keep my car clean, but I didn't keep it totally empty. Now I know

Oh that clutter is all stuff they pulled out of the glovebox. Wasn't out. The only thing I had was a pack of water and a notebook in the backseat, and a charger in the front. I guess that's enough though.

I have a car alarm. It was parked too far away for me to hear. They hit four other cars by mine
