Downtown, tourist areas suffer heavy predatory car robberies. Living near one, a summer weekend does not go by on my block with tourists being shocked leaving their laptops/luggage visible in SUV back's window didn't turn out well (smashers are in SUVs with right side passenger efficiently scanning while they drive by). Until tourists re-arrived in numbers last month, I hadn't seen a smashed window in 6 months.
Have not seen a local car on my block of ~40 cars with a broken window in well over a year.
