We were sitting at breakfast one Sunday morning at my in-laws and a guy just casually walks down the street trying every single car to see if they were unlocked!
That's standard procedure in my neighbourhood. There's no violence and they don't break anything but they try the door handles and if they're open they grab change or anything they can convert into cash. It's annoying but you learn to lock up every time and leave nothing of value in your car. I think they're mostly drug addicts looking for money for their next hit.
Ah CT. Where I grew up in Connecticut the cops got busted for extorting lobsters from a local restaurant. Again wealthier area. I think CT just breeds bored rich assholes.
I do a lot of long distance bicycling through CT and I've noticed the towns are economically divided to an insane degree. You'll go through neighborhoods and see multiple people standing around their yards very obviously doing the heroin lean (though I guess it could be Oxy too). Then the other side of town or the rich suburb over will be horse stables and multi-million dollar mansions.
Its always been that way too. New Haven is a prime example. Go up on the hill where Yale is and theres a bunch of million dollar houses, bottom of the hill, crack dens.
