Bin is smart. Then they could see that there is nothing they really want!
I was parked at Stonewall Tell Elementary. So frustrating!
Last time I was robbed I was at mile 0 of the Silver Comet Trail on a rainy day when no one else was there.
One other car that did not have a trunk was broken into. I drive a little scion xb box car!
I had my stuff covered up too!

Dang it! That's awful - you would think a school would be safe. And.. I parked at mile 0 just this Friday. Grrrr!!! I usually park at the church on Silk Sheets - leave a buck in the donation box. I figure my car is being watched by a higher authority there.

Oh, that sucks. I'm glad they didn't get your wallet, though.
Did you file a police report? If nothing else, it will contribute to the law enforcement stats for the area in which you parked your car.2014 Bobbin Bramble / Brooks B67

Dang it!!!
So sorry. Stupid thieves. Something tells me they'd break in even if they could see in. Desperate people... someone here last week was caught breaking into a car taking $.35 they saw on the seat. That was all that was there.
So sorry...

My guess is that if you have a bike rack on your car, people familiar with cycling on a trail would know that you don't have a lot of room on a bicycle to take your valuables with you. Therefore, even if they're covered up, if you're parked at a trailhead with a bike rack on a vehicle.. you probably just took your keys, phone, and wallet with you and left anything else of value behind..
This is partly why I try to bike TO the trail to start my rides - then I don't have to worry about losing much!“Hope is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul, and sings the tune without words, and never stops at all.”
