They only got caught because a Statie happened to be coming off the bridge and saw them in the act. One guy split, and the guy under the car working the sawzall couldn't get out from underneath in time. Not too long ago, it was so bad that a certain Statie took it upon himself to cruise the Canal lots, and even the service road, checking things out and warning fishermen about the rash of car break-ins. Locking your doors only slows them down. Takes 2 seconds to wrap a rock in an old sock and smash a window.

Greg, after too many insurance claims, some companies will drop your full glass coverage. And driving home sitting on shards of broken glass sucks. I've done it.

Now they use spring loaded center punches.. quiet and fast...locks are only for honest people to keep them honest... thieves will find a way if they really want to break in
