Lived in Capitol Hill neighborhood in Seattle for a couple years, once someone smashed the car window to try to grab stuff in a backpack I had in plain view. It only had empty water bottles in it, but they broke the window I had to have fixed. I learned to never leave anything that could be construed to be worth any amount of money in sight in a car I&#x27;m not in.<p>Then we moved to Bellevue, thought we got away from the problems of the city. My wife leased a new car and the same night someone smashed the rear window out with rocks, apparently just for kicks as nothing was taken from the car.<p>At trailheads for hiking routes, I often see smashed glass all over the ground. In a city the probability of crime may be higher, but it seems like that kind of stuff could happen anywhere.
