And what might I mean by that?
I mean remove documents from your glove compartment or other easily accessible areas in your vehicle wherein it would be unwise to carry them given the spike in crime of all sorts caused by such Democrat policies as defunding the police and eliminating cash bail. I count four levels of foolishness in decreasing levels of inadvisability:
1) Carrying your driver's license in the glove box.
2) Carrying the title to the vehicle in the glove box.
3) Carrying the vehicle registration in the glove box.
4) Carrying insurance cards in the glove box.
Since smash and grab is quick and easy and on the rise, the wise do not leave personal information easy of access in their vehicles. (You might want to look into installing a serious console or under-seat lock box.) One scenario goes like this: the thug learns your address and swipes your garage door opener. Now they have easy access to your garage and its contents, and if you are foolish enough to leave the door to your domicile unlocked, access to your house and its contents including wife and children.
Whey our kids were little, and we had extra cloth diapers (clean of course), we would leave one of them, with an obvious safety pin on the corner, on the dashboard, along with a kid toy. No-one ever tried to break in our Volvo station wagon. They probably assumed 1) smell, 2) poverty. They were correct about 2). This is a cheap trick available to anyone, and it will work until children are so rare that a diaper is not obvious anymore. That time is probably arriving, though.
