Baltimore: Where Cars Go to Disappear
Baltimore has seen a surge in car thefts that would make even the most seasoned auto thief do a double take. It's like someone pressed the fast-forward button on a crime drama. One minute you’re parked outside your favorite crab cake spot, and the next, your ride is gone, probably headed to a chop shop or a joyride ending in a spectacular crash.
Tip: Read once for gist, twice for details.

Everyone from teenagers with TikTok dreams to organized crime rings are getting in on the action. And let’s not forget the cars themselves. Apparently, certain models are easier to steal than unlocking your grandma's purse. It's like the automotive equivalent of leaving your wallet on a park bench.

A Tip for Baltimore Residents: If you live in Baltimore, consider naming your car something really embarrassing. Like "Harold the Horrible Honda." It might just deter thieves. Or maybe they’ll steal it just to change the name.
What Can Be Done?
Well, aside from moving to a city with better car security (like, you know, anywhere else), there are some things you can do. Get a car alarm that sounds like a T-Rex roaring. Invest in a steering wheel lock that looks like a medieval torture device. Or, you know, just park your car inside your house.
In Conclusion
