> People breaking into cars in your area are driving to their thefts? In cities they just walk down the street looking for targets of opportunity.

I assumed the same but based on reporting I've seen on SF local news, at least some of them are doing it out of cars. Pull up next to a likely target, dude jumps out of the passenger seat and takes a quick look, smash & grab if there's anything good, drive off.
