Obviously you can leave nothing in it of value but there is no protection with the doors locked anyway. Maybe 2 or 3 times over 10 years here has someone gone through my car taking loose change, gum, even a half eaten bagel. It sure beats replacing a window.

This has been going for the last four nights. For those of us who park on the street.......please call the 84th precint 718-875-7811. Now that the skybox is gone, it seems that certain individuals feel that Dumbo is a prime target again. Does anyone think it is possible to get the Dumbo BID involved and have private security patrol. I know that in Brooklyn Heights, specifically, Garden Place used to have a private security. I love living in Dumbo and don't want certain elements to ruin the joy of living. Cars are being broken into at night on York Street and Washington Street.

There is two of them that work as a team. One is a girl who is usually the lookout. She has a ponytail with curly hair, purple schoolbag, about 5'6 - 5'7. Always standing at the entrance. The other is a black male 5'8 - 5'9, 150-160 lbs, approx 25yrs old. Their m.o. is the guy will bump into you pretending you broke something of his then ask you for money. The girl will wait for a target then follow them up york street stopping them midway and beg for money so the cops won't see her. Beware of the scam artists at the York Street Train Station.

They've hit the jackpot. You should ask them "for a little help" when you walk by. Don't forget a "God bless..." and maybe they'll take care of your ticket.
