Very cool! Car Break-In useful for “safe to park here?”

Thanks! Yeah unfortunately with cities like SF nowhere is truly "safe to park" but hopefully this helps people avoid the major hotspots!

It's actually quite safe to park in SF with two exceptions:

- With anything visible that might contain a valuable. Any devices in the trunk should be in Airplane Mode. If you're a tourist, don't park by a tourist trap.

- Any model with an oft-stolen catalytic converter, esp. Prius.

SF itself has higher-than-average tourist density, so it's a burgling destination too. But it's possible to park for decades and never have your car broken into.
