In the past month, someone has started breaking into cars in my building's lot. Windows were smashed and radios were taken. Saturday night, my one of my landlord (and neighbor)'s car was hit. At this point, my apartment is the only one who hasn't had a car window smashed (some apartments have more than one car to them, but not every car has been hit. My landlord has about six vehicles, in fact).

After his window was broken, my landlord went out and got a powerful floodlight, which he set up in the yard, illuminating the lot. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my windows remain whole. I've taken the crappy face off my car radio, armed the annoying car alarm, and left lights on in my living room window so that it will be ambiguous as to when I have gone to bed. I'm hoping that and luck will hold me.

Dudes, there is nothing in my vehicle worth stealing. If I thought it would help, I would leave the door unlocked, to make it easier for you to discover that fact.
