I have no statistics about break-ins here. I've lived in Sleepy Hollow for 30+ years and do not recall hearing anything.
I do know that the three times I've been there, there have always been quite a few other cars parked there. Once I got the last reasonable spot. It's on a pretty major road. There's a lot of foot traffic on the paths. To each his own.

So, take your pick ~ pay the fee and have more people around or perhaps end up finding your car ransacked upon your return. Happy birding all!
