I can share that from living in a Northern UK city, between 2 or 3 "notorious" streets there would be multiple car break-ins each week. The University's student Facebook page became a constant feed of people reporting cars with smashed windows.

There is a big difference between drug addicts breaking windows to steal change and cars being stolen,

I lived in Leeds (Northern UK City) for a while about 15 years ago and, yeah, cars were stolen routinely (mine included). I would expect it is less common now though?

Damn. I figured the CCTV would at least knock crime down a little.

Afraid to ask what kind of crime happens in places without cameras - those that exist.
