College Park (MD) had a bad Honda theft problem last year. Doesn't seem to have continued over to this year... but same issue. Cops refused to patrol the lots and instead opted to give out parking meter violations, until the VERY end of the year. The university cops were hopelessly outmanned, and Hondas and Acuras just got taken and taken and taken.

Grrrrrrrrrrr.

A note about the story on finding the stolen car ON THE ROAD, with the thief in it still: I had a friend who delivered pizzas for Papa Johns. He left his car idling and went inside for the next batch of pizzas. Ten minutes later, someone said "Hey man, isn't that your car driving off??" ... he went outside, and sure enough, some guy was leaving the lot with his car. He called all his friends, and someone spotted the guy traveling north at about 80-90 mph. They called the cops, and a state trooper started tailing him... the guy panicked, drove onto a backroad and wrapped the car around a utility pole at ~75 mph while braking. He exited the car without a scratch. Car = destroyed.
