I don't live in a bad area but we have been broken into a couple of 
times on the street in front of our house. They broke the window in 
my d-in-l's car and punched the locks out of my 02 Supercrew on 
separate occasions. Someone took the star off the hood on my car 
while parked in a lot in front of a store etc. I knew kids back in 
the day who sort of collected shifter knobs from cars.
We left a set of keys hanging in the door of one of our cars over a 
weekend a few years back and the keys and the car were still there 
when we got back. It was on the curb side so that likely helped.
