Which city would you expect you could leave a phone in the car without it being stolen?

Dang dude, where do you live? I'm a lifelong Detroiter and my car has no end of electronic shit inside it, some visible, some not. It's never been touched.

The only times I've had cars broken into were when I was visiting DC and when I was working in San Jose.

So, um, it's not universal?

I live in Europe (the Netherlands) and I most definitely empty my car. I've had two smashed windows, my dad has had one, and besides, it's all uninsured: the insurance companies do not consider the trunk of your locked car a "safe place for valuables".

Most of them. At least most parts of most northern European cities that I have visited.
