Hi everyone,
Due to some lifestyle changes, I live in a house with roommates where I pay only $450 in rent a month, and I'm saving up to buy a bike sometime this spring. My saving is getting slowed down due to some unfortunate circumstances :-( my car was parked by the house and someone rammed their car into it and drove off... this has happened to multiple vehicles in the area. Also, last night my roommate's boyfriend's car had its back window smashed and something stolen from the back. While I'm saving my money, what can I do to deter idiots???? My neighborhood isn't awful per se, but it's close to some areas that are not so nice. Plus there's a small bar district several blocks away. Does anyone have tips?
