There are better uses of their time.
Like what in 22207? Practically everyday there is a new report of car break ins. The home invasion with the family inside in Adidin Manor is particularly troubling. I just had cameras installed.
A home invasion is worth investigating. A kid stealing $5 in change from your unlocked car is not.
Depends on whether insurance needs a police report, no?
It’s all worth investigating. If you don’t think the home invasions are a direct result of people robbing cars with impunity you’re sorely mistaken. It will take one or two of these criminals catching a bullet to change the calculus for them. Right now the payoffs are just too great and the deterrents non existent.
Evidence it’s the same kids?
Why are you so sure it’s kids that are robbing the cars with signal boosters at 3 am? It’s more likely we’re dealing with junkies, and given proximity to the highways, probably not local ones.
I've seen them on our cameras. Just kids.

That is, hypothetically, seeing an unrecognized individual slowly strolling on a public carrying a duffel bag at 2am wouldn’t be enough probably. Seeing said person peering into car windows might be sufficient, though.
You got something against duffel bags?
No, but hypothetically it’s a thing into which other items could be placed.

I have about $3 in a little bin, just in case I need air in my tires and can swap it out for change quickly. Then I have jumper cables, a visor, like 8 reusable bags, and probably a couple bobby pins. Stop using your car as a storage unit - problem solved.
The people whose cars are being rifled through don’t necessarily have anything more valuable in their cars than you do. So problem not solved unless you don’t care that someone might unlock and toss your car.

Arlington liberals are about to elect an innocence project lawyer as Commonwealth Attorney . Elections have consequences.
Crime will continue to increase and worsen.
Pretty sure white liberals in this zip code don’t want homeless shelters in their community. I’m not sure that property crimes of this sort would or should be the focus of a progressive prosecutor. There’s a Robin Hood aspect to this. Call it a firm of coercive sharing, maybe?

Cars getting tossed isn't a serious crime in and of itself, but it's a harbinger-crime, of worse things to come due to an overall trend.
It's like a canary in a coal mine. It's an indication that bad things are ahead.
