My car is parked in the condo building where I live and a camera is watching it 24/7.
But why would someone break in to my car because it has FL plates?
Btw, I thought when you had out of state plates they can't give you a ticket for tints or missing front plate. How is it fair if I was just visiting?

Dude, at my apt in San Jose, my car got broken into (not the C63). In my condo now, there have been several break-ins and several bicycle thefts. Tinted windows would keep you safer, but you should still keep it in showroom condition...absolutely empty.

They would break into your car because, A) it's a nice car, B) because they think you're a tourist and you would keep your valuables in it.

Ok I see now. My car remains unlocked with windows down and there is a guard watching it. My building has like a parking facility where people come park (valet) their cars 24/7. If anything happens to the car they will be liable for it. Parking in my building is insanely expensive, they better keep an eye on it. We also have a lot of nice cars in the garage so my car is not gonna be too flashy.

FYI:
Regardless of the registered state of the vehicle it must at all times comply to the local ordinances in which it is being driven/parked in.

Got pulled over this morning by some bored cop because I was driving 'erratically'
Best part is that he caught up with me using this silly thing, talk about a fail lol:
