After our car was stolen, we use our garage and/garages when we go out. It's another step, but the city does not care to deter theft or malice (smashed windows etc). Yes, we own a sfh and prefer using real estate for garages versus people. Maybe when the city gets a handle on crime and malice we will be more supportive of "vibrant density" efforts. Until then, looking out for ourselves

I wonder how many of those cars stolen are stick shift. Or older than 15 years.

Maybe Hyundai and Kia should quit making cars that are stupid easy to steal?

Will police even bother to recover a stolen car if they know the location? I certainly would not go into the dangerous parts of DC by myself to attempt to recover a car.
I live in arlington and have a few friends whose cars have been stolen here and they have traced them to dc. Police didn’t help. They went and retrieved the cars themselves in very bad areas. Pp is right that you don’t want it back.
What? Your car got stolen in Arlington?
Why is this surprising to you? I know a couple people who live in Arlington who have had their cars stolen in the past year. Why would Arlington be exempt from crime?

The housing voucher program is bringing the dangerous parts of DC to your neighborhood. Nowhere is safe anymore.
Research do not bear this out. Please stop promoting untrue fear.
What research are you referring to?

Not really. The air tag tells anyone with an Apple device that it is present if it has been following you for a couple hours.
How?
You get a notification. It’s a safety feature to prevent AirTags being used by creepy stalkers, violent ex-partners, etc to surreptitiously track and potentially harm people.

Basically the racket is multi-layered. Sometimes the organizations will buy wrecked cars, then switch the vins from the wrecks to the stolen ones. The VINs from stolen ones either become ghosts or are switched to another wrecked car in another state.
Maces have vins all over them, not just in the dash. Anyone buying a used car should check for matching vins.

Actually the facts are:
- Most stolen cars are NOT recovered.
- Cars are shipped out of the US via Baltimore, Jersey, and several other shady port cities.
- This is NOT an issue of poor people and kids joyriding. These are a small fraction of what happens when a car is stolen.
