Do not leave your valuables visible in your car!

It annoys me to see shattered glass piled on the parking space at some recreational trailhead. Part of the problem is that some people are inviting thieves and car clouters to smash and grab goods from cars.

As I found the other day at a trailhead (which I will remain nameless), I parked next to one car with an MP3 player laying on the front seat. This car had an all-around clear glass windows so anything inside was visible as daylight. That is as I walked to the back of my car, I pinpointed in the back of this car that they had a car stereo box clearly visible at the top of a shopping bag. This was not one of those cupping your hands on the window and peek inside deal. This was one of those things, thanks to the clear glass, these items were visible from even inside my own car.

Whatever the case may be, it is best to take your valuables with you. I hear this from time to time from a police officer who attends our neighborhood association, the best defense is to keep your car looking sterile (meaning get all those valuables out of there).
