A fraternity brother of mine drove to D.C. the summer of 1963. He parked his car in front of Union Station just long enough to help his friend take his luggage into the terminal. When he returned to his locked car minutes later everything inside had been removed, all his clothing and so on. He had a summer job with a Congressman and he got through it with literally the clothes on his back. Out of state plates probably made his car a quick grab target.
