Yea man, when I was doing undergrad in College Park driving around my Civic my insurance dropped $70 a month when I moved further out by Annapolis in Anne Arundel county.

I try to get on and off campus as quickly as I can.

Yea, I am usually one of the first ones in at work and claim the best space there. A BMW M3 and Trailblazer SS park next to me 90% of the time too so I am in good company.

good luck catching these theives...really hate hearing these stories because it makes me very nervous....

I remember seeing something about some crazy security system that had flamethrowers shooting at potential car jackers, but you have to be in the car to use it. It was in Brazil though, definitely not legal in the US

I'm surprised no one saw this happening if it was in the daytime at a mall. Would seem to be pretty obvious.

I never knew PG county was that bad. I haven't had any issues in Lot 6 and have parked there for the last 3 years.

It's PG County... all that needs to be said.

Fellow MD'ers familiar with the area will back me up on this!

In all seriousness, PG isn't as bad as it USED to be I would say around 7-10 years ago. They are actually cleaning up the surrounding areas especially around campus and further down on Rt.1 closer to the D.C. border.

Campus itself is pretty safe the majority of the time but I still wouldn't advise walking alone around UMD at night.

I'm very rarely on campus at night. Maybe only a handful of times since I started going there.

I talked to security, they basically told me its not there fault and to file a police report. It happened Sunday night and yes there where cars around, the parking lot was full, so it makes me wonder how nobody saw it

QUOTE=Masa;1101493]Is that the mall across the way from FedEx Field? If so, it doesn't surprise me that this happened. PG County sucks

Sorry for your loss man.

[/QUOTE] Yea man thats the one. That area truly sucks

Hopefully someone steps up to let you borrow some stockers until your new wheels come in.

Good luck getting the PG cops to worry about "petty" crime.

I remember when UMD was sending out those e-mails about people stealing catalytic converters from cars on campus. Glad I didn't have a nice car at the time
