I mentioned this on another thread in an different context, but it occurred to me that this is useful information as hunting season begins and weary folks are traveling through on their way to hunt. Auto theft in Albuquerque is highest in the country per capita. There is no guarantee that your vehicle will be where you left it the night before if you're staying in a hotel. I met a guy antelope hunting a few years ago who had his truck with all his hunting gear stolen while he was having dinner along the interstate in a busy area with lot of restaurants (I-25 and Jefferson). A fairly recent news story was of a man from Vermont who had retired and was moving to Tucson. He got a hotel in Albuquerque and woke to find his U-Haul -and a lot of his life-gone in the morning.
Obviously a lot more vehicles are NOT stolen than are stolen, but theft is rampant now. I'm not trying to scare anybody, but be vigilant.
