San Mateo is a nice area, I thought.

I am in a so called "gated community" up here in the Sierra foothills.

That allowed me to leave the Mercedes unlocked and in the driveway overnight for about 3 years, and nothing ever happened, except the roof clearcoat got destroyed by the harsh heat and cold extremes. I finally got wise and made room in the garage for it with the Subaru Outback that is in there.

Nothing at all like when I lived in San Francisco, a nice neighborhood, but cars once in a while got stolen, or the wheels stolen off them (Japanese cars usually)
