Know the feeling. My sympathies.

Several years ago I was at an auction at a large hotel, large city, major traffic flowing on two sides. My car parked within sight of lots of traffic, two restaurants, hotel foot traffic, two hundred yards from I-44, etc. Sometime between NOON and 4:00 (broad daylight!) someone took a bat/pipe to my drivers side window. They wanted my Escort radar detector.

Not 2 months later I read in Car & Driver (they actually print a letter) from a thief that travels interstates, drives through motel/hotel lots, sees detectors, stops, swings bat, grabs ...gone! Back on Interstate in 2 minutes. Brags about how easy it is!

...and my stupidity for not hiding it.
