[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately, these neighborhoods are seen as "soft targets" and residents have become fairly negligent to their own safety.

Last week, my FIL's car was rummaged through by a thief. As were the cars of 5 neighbors on the block. This is in a part of Bethesda where houses sell for $1.25-1.75mn. How did the thief gain access? Everyone left their car unlocked so the thief did not attract attention.

Thieves are mobile, especially in the DC area. My guess is that the yuppies buying $900K rowhouses in Columbia Heights, Bloomingdale, and Capitol Hill have wizened up. The thieves are moving on to easier targets.[/quote]

+1 on the suburbs becoming soft targets for crime. We are seeing a real spike in property crime in great falls over the last few months. Police held a meeting with community members a few weeks ago. I think there was a lively thread on the gf, McLean crime on dcum recently too. Sorry for the victim of the Woodley crime. [/quote]

You do know that the row houses of Woodley Park are 14 blocks from Columbia Hts. and also start off around the $1 million mark?   Not sure why the[u] city neighborhood [/u]of Woodley would be a "softer" target than other rowhouse neighborhoods in NW.[/quote]
