Just park with your windows open if there's nothing they can really take. Repairing the window isn't with the cost or the time.

- kevinmgranger 5y agoThat might help in San Francisco, but in Seattle, that's lost hours dealing with a soaked interior.
- Karrot_Kream 5y agoYeah this isn't for rainy or dusty environments for sure.
- ddalex 5y agoIt may be getting soaked in SF too, but with different kind of fluids

- 1-6 5y agoProblem in San Francisco is, you'll get people sleeping in your car if you do that.
- dugmartin 5y agoDepending on the height of your windows I would think sleeping would be the best thing other people could do to your car.
- lijogdfljk 5y agoI'd fear the associated smell.
- m0llusk 5y agoNot sure why this is getting downvoted. I know at least one person who had to get rid of their car after a stinky street person crashed in it. This is a real thing that happens and once an awful stench has permeated cloth and upholstery there is no easy fix.

- ficklepickle 5y agoDirty Mike and the boys will have an f-shack in there and it will never be the same
- CobaltFire 5y agoSan Diego as well; happened to me Monday. Car didn't lock all the way (older car) and they try every handle. Thankfully they didn't wreck the car or anything. Just laid the seat back.
- tschwimmer 5y agoAs clever as this idea sounds, it's not a good suggestion. I once accidentally left my windows down in SF for 12 hours and my car was essentially stripped clean - headrests, registration, proof of insurance, manual, floor mats - all gone. Additionally all my doors and trunk were wide open.
- Karrot_Kream 5y agoI guess I've never driven a nice enough car. I used to keep my windows down any time I parked along 8th/Harrison and fwiw nothing ever happened to my car, though there were obvious signs of folks rifling around inside. All my documents were kept in a locked glove compartment and I pretty much had nothing stealable in the car without having the car be cased.
- cromat3 5y agoSounds horrible and for me it is unimaginable. In Croatia, you rarely hear that a car waa broken into even in bigger cities. In smaller towns a lot of people don't even bother to lock their cars.
- WaitWaitWha 5y agoWhy do you think that is?
- kntmckenebrt 5y agoIn countries like Croatia the police is busy catching criminals instead of helping them inject heroin, going after mean people on Twitter, or calculating if the robbed amount is under 900 USD and then apologising to the thief and giving him a ride home like the SF police do.
- cromat3 5y agoI think it has more to do with culture than police effectiveness as we are not so popular as a country with good enforcement of law. Croatia is a small country and there is always someone that knows someone even if he is on the other side of the country. So even if somebody steals something from someone, there is a big chance that it is someone you know (he knows when you leave your house, when you get back etc.), so it would be a really big shame if you find out that someone you know stole something from you. Therefore, most thefts are done by Roma people because they are somewhat excluded/isolated from society.
- isatty 5y agoAnd risk someone shitting in your car? No thanks.
- mrguyorama 5y agoMy friend visited a car breakin prone area in canada once, and left his car unlocked like his girlfriend suggested. They broke his window anyway, and stole a minecraft keychain and about $4 in change. Hilariously he actually got the stuff back eventually
