I point you to the
last few days' worth of crime reports issued by the DC government, to alert you to a rash of auto-related incidents: five car break-ins on Christmas, two stolen cars on Boxing Day, and another theft-from-auto the next day. The perp seems to have a particular fondness for L Street, from South Capitol all the way to 8th. So be forewarned, and as always, don't leave anything in your car in sight that might be the slighest bit attractive to someone peeking in.
