Keep your registration and insurance card in your purse or wallet because you almost always have them with you when you drive. Just keep them folded neatly with your drivers license, COPS appreciate that! And take those garage receipts and put them in a folder in your garage/home. There is a lot of useful information on them if they end up in the wrong hands.
If criminals find easy scores/victims they most certainly come back. Lets not give them the opportunity...stay Vigilant.

Yep my thoughts exactly...criminal activity happens everywhere. Just watch out for your neighbors like you would anywhere. It was probably in the overnight hours when there aren't many folks around. I know after the issue with the restrooms being vandalized up there I saw more cop cruisers in the area. The reality is it could have been anyone. Kids, Adults..too bad security camera's didn't catch the folks. Probably cops or local business's that covered them up. Or maybe the tour operators since it was a designated parking lot for the tours? Anyway, for something like this..probably best thing is have someone drop you off and leave the car in your garage safe
