Saw an article in the SL trib yesterday (http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/541037...csp?page=2) and their were over 3400 car breakins in 2011. The map online doesn't show it but the printed map had each breakin marked. Nowhere in SLC was immune. Everybody lived within about a block or less of a breakin that year. And that's just the reported ones. So don't keep anything in your car either. If it wasn't a neighbor maybe someone looking at cars saw it and thought nice a score without breaking a car window. Ladders are another favorite target to be stolen.
Since you're moving into a home consider getting a dog or 2. Mine goes berserk at any hour of the day if anyone is on our property. Once my mother in law watched my son for a few days. On return she said everything went fine but Sam ( son) left the back window down one night and the change out of your car was stolen. She then said and one night the dogs went crazy barking. I said yes they were trying to tell you someone was getting into the car. Besides it's fun to see how fast a 250 -300 lb guy can run off your property when up to no good and you let loose the hounds. Save the gun for when they break into your house but with the dogs probable will never need it. I swear they bigger the guy around here the more scared they are of dogs.
