Yes, car break-ins are up. But robberies are down, rapes are down, as is other violent crime. This is a made-up moral panic.
And, no, it's not people suddenly deciding not to report crime. Rape and murder tend to be noticed. Victims of assault will, with some constant factor, seek medical help. Robberies are reported because that's corporate policy. If anything, it's the relatively minor smashed car window one might not report.
