Specifically, it sends the message to not leave valuables in your car, even when locked. Windows can be broken and valuables can be taken in less than a minute.

The Seattle Police Department also has produced a list of recommendations, such as leaving carport lights on overnight, parking on the street near a well-lit area, and requesting the city install a new street light if the area you park at is too dark.
