Lafayette is generally pretty safe. But I habitually lock my vehicles even if just going into the drug store for five minutes. YOu never know who might happen along and decide to take something relatively insignificant. It could be my favorite cd or a wrench.

If left unlocked a couple of times in thrity years of living here I have come out in the morning to find my glove box rifled.

ONce my tools got stolen out of the garage. And my rear speakers got taken out of my bmw bavaria.

It turned out the Catholic church next door had an ex con working as a janitor and a few weeks later I saw what appeared to be my speakers in the back of his POS pickup truck.

I never can get my wife to lock hardly anything though.

I suggest she might come out someday and find that a wino slept in the car and urinated in her seat......thinking that image would do it.....to no avail.
