That is very good advice. I would also add that you should refrain from leaving 
even a quarter on the floor or a penny or anything.

Well, this is theoretically good advice except that when they broke into my 
car a week ago (4600 block of Cedar), there was nothing valuable in plain 
sight, unless you count the Britax car seat, which thank God they didn't 
take.  They went thru the glove compartment and didn't steal anything, they 
didn't seem to see the spare change compartment because that was not touched 
(about $3 worth of change).  They did steal an air pump that I kept in the 
trunk for emergencies (thus, no point having it out of the trunk) but left 
the cheap stroller that I also keep for emergencies. I had a similar 
experience 7 years ago, when my car got broken into (4700 block of Pine).  
At the time, they broke the passenger window AND the trunk lock, checked out 
the stereo and speakers, and decided it was too low quality for their 
standards.  So nothing got stolen but I ended up with the cheap stereo and 
speakers plus a big bill to repair a window and lock.
I agree, you shouldn't keep valuables in plain sight, but not having them in 
plain sight won't necessarily protect you from a break-in.

I agree, you shouldn't keep valuables in plain sight, but not having
them in 
plain sight won't necessarily protect you from a break-in.

Maty,

Keeping valuables out of sight is just to minimize the risk of a
break-in, not prevent.None of these maneuvers prevents a damn thing,
just minimizes the risk of whatever they plan to do when they take that
stroll past your car.

Also, those with a club on a car (steering wheel deterrent) is another way
to decrease the possibility of a break-in.
