The best things you can do, use a club and/or an alarm. Keep the doors locked while parked and driving. Never leave anything of value in your car. Put your registration and insurance papers in the TRUNK, not the glove box (preferably in a ziplock bag so nothing gets spilled on them) Funny, but that's all I've ever had stolen from my car since I moved here, my papers...maybe that's because I never leave anything else inside it... Guess they were rifling around for cash.

Don't want to dampen your spirits but before you get all giddy about what you expect for the $ 600.00 you better wait and see.

Not only is car theft a big prob (insurance is NYC $$)but there is nearly no on site parking which is why it is so bad...so you best prepare for street parking.

A $ 1000 a month in the warehouse dist will get you a shoebox in an old building. Be prepared to look all over the city for a decent place. Lots of decent places in the Lakeview area, but it is a 25 min drive in. Good luck
