What to do about scumbags checking car doors at night?

[TheDan]

Police were notified, reports taken, end result nothing.
...use a small GPS tracker and place it inconspicuously on a easily identifiable item you own. ...notify the proper authorities immediately and how to locate said item.

Might not result in any different outcome from the first scenario.

Guy I know was mugged at gunpoint and one of the items taken was his phone. He used the find my phone app and tracked it to an apartment complex. Told the cops where to find the people that mugged him, and they told him they weren't going to do anything. All depends on your local constabulary...

Or you could just exploit it and work the system. During a garbage strike in NY city, enterprising people would gift-wrap their trash and leave it in an unlocked car at night. It would usually be gone by the next day.

Disgusting. Another reason I don't care for NY.
