This is somewhat spoken in jest, but the fact remains: smash and grabs are the most prevalent crime in the city. It is the crime most likely NOT to get prosecuted, or even reported (what’s the point?). There is an army of individuals across the city who look for unsuspecting victims. They work in pairs, one driver and one individual with a specialized tool. They smash your car window. Take whatever they can grab inside. And make a hasty exit. The windows on their vehicle are tinted. They have a temporary license plate or no plate at all. They wear a mask and usually a hoodie to hide their identity. You are left with a smashed window, damaged car, and a feeling of insecurity and a feeling of having been violated that lingers. And there ain’t a damn thing that you can do about it. It’s happened to me twice so far. Keep your head on a swivel!!
