Reply to comment by Ouchyhurthurt in TIL - Contrary of what everybody thinks, if you park your car at a dark spot at night, the chances of theft are smaller, because thieves don't like to use lights. by JosZo

There's been a ton of break ins a few blocks near my house, my city has cameras that are live and are watched by the police.

The crew that was breaking into 10-20 cars per night did it in both day and night and would use a van then bolt. They stopped with this neighborhood but moved onto others.

Day or night doesn't matter it's all about opportunity.

Damn, that sounds shitty.

They caught the guy and his crew that was stealing catalytic converters a little while back. Apparently it was a multi-million dollar setup and spanned from coast to coast, Portland to NY. You know somebody else just stepped into his role tho…
