“Dear PoPville,
Hi! I live in the 14th & U area of NW and over the past year have had several instances of my car window being smashed open for break-ins. I do not have anything of value in my car and generally do not leave anything out on the seats or anything. I’ve began to wonder if people sometimes just leave their cars unlocked to prevent the hassle/expense of dealing with a broken window – was wondering if the community had any suggestions!!”
