Would a job offer compensation for car broken into during work hours?

A strategy is to get to work earlier in order to park in the employee lot.

Are you in DC? When some of the new office buildings went up they made very conservative assumptions on the # of people who would need to park in order to not build lots. Commercial real estate is a lot more profitable than parking lots.

The strategy is not to leave anything in the car. Nothing- no change, books, bags, phone, etc.

Are you required to drive to work, or is it possible to take public transit? If driving isn't mandatory, hard to see why they'd reimburse you for something that happened to your car while you're there. (Even if it is, seems unlikely.)

Was onsite parking part of the job offer? Does the employee/hr manual mention onsite parking as a benefit? If yes to either, I'd push it.

The strategy is to work in Bethesda or NOVA where it isn't an issue

No part of DC is safe.
