[font "Courier New"][#0000BF][size 3]This is why I do not keep anything in my car. Every time I get out of my car, I always take everything with me... even garbage (especially fast food bags that have card receipts...yes, only the last 4 numbers show, but if somebody really wanted to be desperate they could find out the rest!)
I don't even leave stuff in the trunk, because all they have to do is pick the lock of my car doors, get to the dashboard and pop the trunk that way.
Even the car itself is not safe! I had my car stolen a few summers ago ("fortunately" the thieves (who I am pretty sure I know who did it, but can't prove) didn't know that my AC didn't work.) The engine blew up from overheating, and the car was abandoned a few blocks down from the house. As it was pointed in the direction of my house, I assume they were trying to return it?
Also, I've heard that car parts, such as the catalytic converter, are targets too.
