I've never had my car broken into... but most of that was a midwestern city not the coasts, although I've been in San Fran, NYC, and DC.

I have a very messy car. Not rotting food messy, just a lot of clothes and things, often a lot of workout clothes, backup winter clothes, a couple blankets.

Thieves like clean cars. See target, break in, grab, leave. Messy cars are slow, annoying, and induce too much cognitive load.

If I lived in San Fran right now, I would have a shitty car with a lot of clothing in it just for the purposes of covering up things I don't want stolen and being annoying to thieves.

I don't think that would be nearly as big of a deterrent in SF as you'd hope. It seems like nowadays any car that CAN be broken into will be.
