Has it become riskier to park in downtown Seattle?

Multiple car break-ins at different lots across the city of Seattle are raising questions over parking security.

Friday night, Cory Sokol and Kalibria Flemming attended a concert at WaMu Theater. They parked in different lots about a block apart, but their break-in stories are the same.

“The window was still there, just completely shattered,” said Flemming. “Turned around and find out that the car behind us had their window broken also.”

“It’s not like one car or two, it was at least a dozen,” said Sokol. “There’s glass all over the place.”

I usually take transit when going downtown because parking's so damn expensive. Looks like I have another reason.

1. This has been a huge problem in San Francisco,

so much so that they have a name for the pile of shattered safety glass -- San Francisco snow. People have taken to leaving their windows rolled down and leaving the glove compartment open, so that thieves can see there is nothing in there to steal. Since April, the number of cars with smashed windows numbers in the 100s.

So this is the new smash and grab.
