I lived in a neighborhood I heard was "bad" for about two years. I usually left my cars unlocked, and nobody bothered them. In October I moved to a "better" neighborhood about two miles away, and someone stole the owner's manual out of my (unlocked) 240D.

When I lived in Midtown Atlanta, someone took the hood ornament off my Lincoln Town Car.
