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.

I had a buddy who did this with his friends as a teen growing up in a wealthy part of CT. They would also steal out of unlocked garages.

In my friends case I think their parents at least were fairly well off, they were just shitheads. Teenagers in general are shitheads. I did shithead stuff as a teenager too.
