If I have to go to DC I usually take the Metro in, because I don't want to leave my car on the street or in a garage there. But then I have to deal with all of the people on the Metro. Eventually I will be beaten down by a group of thugs (probably some large female thugs) because they want my Pradas.

I was being facetious.

Wow, a lot of DC hate up in this thread lol. To be quite honest, this type of stuff can happen just as easily in MoCo, NoVa or Baltimore. People have wheels stolen, cars keyed, and emblems removed in the Montgomery mall and White Flint parking lots all the time. I've been in the District in cars much nicer than a 370Z (i.e. GT-R/Porsche) and never had any problems. I've left my S outside my grandmothers house in Trinidad overnight and it was fine. Anyone who is from DC or knows of DC can agree with me in saying Trinidad is definitely no Upper Northwest.

Sorry to hear about your troubles OP, glad to see you were able to turn it into a positive. Unfortunately for us, comes with the territory of owning a nice car.

If you grow up in NOVA you are raised to fear DC. And it doesn't help that one of my friends thought it would be a good idea to buy a house in Anacostia.

I ran 3 red lights to get out of there once when I accidentally ended up there. Lol

Hahaha yea I've done the same. I'd rather pay a $40 ticket than stay in D.C. longer than needed.

Yeah, you're right and I totally agree that it can happen anywhere. Just that if you were raised in the area you were taught to fear D.C. and PG County as places to avoid. There was another one here on the forums who got his wheels stolen over in Landover, MD. His car was parked for only an hour. Sigh, low lives!

Definitely. We live in a nice neighborhood in the good part of Hoodbridge (generally, areas west of 95 are "safe") but just last week we had some thug types trying to get into my dad's car at night. I just hope they don't try to get into the house because in Virginia we are armed!

That's one thing I don't like about going to DC/MD... leaving my Glock behind! At least when I go to MD it's for the Z meets so there is safety in numbers. Shado will protect me.

Dude, you gotta stay close to your 2nd amendment, your right to bear arms. I believe in it!

There's no crime in Baltimore. Don't believe everything you see on "The Wire".
