The "ghetto-ness" (if thats a word) has nothing to do with it. Also among the other most frequently stolen youwill find the Accord, and Camry because so many are on the road that there is a market for parts. But again, this thread is more about being broken into and not stolen...so I dont think the car itself has much to do with it. Personally I put a tint on my windows for this and a few other reasons, I figure if its hard to see in, they are less likely to smash a window and want to come up empty handed, plus it helps if I happen to forget that I've left something in the car. But be forewarned windown tinting in NJ is not 100% legal, there are some limits.

Not too shy to talk

After having our car broken into a few times, and then stolen (right by barrow bar as well) we have considered putting a plank of wood with nails driven in it placed on the seat. I know a guy who did this and found bood on the nails not more than a week later. The prospect of having some bloody guys ass in my car persuaded me not to do it. Plus when my car was stolen, it was broad daylight!

To be honest with you, I am kinda tired of reading 20 other threads you started, each in guise of different topics but you are only saying, "I am new here, please be my friend". No Offense, as you meant no harm by telling us that JC looks like destroyed Hiroshima, but JUST RELAX! Move in, live a little. Find a bar or two to hang out. If you find JC unlikable, make it likable. Do something. If not, just move back to where you are from. I Love JC for its beauties and flaws, and I am trying to make it even better. No one here is going to promise you that you would love living here, so grow up and just see it yourself. Seriously, No Offense.

Civics are probably the most likely to be stolen of all, no offense. Common cars, commonly needed parts.
My car was stolen a number of years ago downtown. Was recovered, somewhat stripped. Cops said I was lucky because oftentimes they're not stealing it to sell but to commit ANOTHER crime- ie, steal your car, hotrod around town robbing people, then dump it somewhere. Then it probably becomes evidence, and you will have to go through a lot more annoyances getting it back. There are cars that are easy to steal & their are cars that are harder to steal, but there are no cars that are impossible to steal. Design's suggestion is a good one, but even then, if someone was dead balls set on getting that car, they'd just flatbed it..... possibility of that happening? Probably >.001% but still could. Leave NOTHING in your car. That is my only advice. Not an empty bag, nothing. No change in the cupholders. Nothing. When it's new car time I always ask what the anti-theft is like. Chief- Your BMW- That surprises me. If he's punching locks he probably isn't going to be able to steal that sucker- They have a chipped key that's pretty decent, no? Not that it can't be done, but if he's just trying to pop locks I find it unlikely he's going to whip out his electronic spoofing equipment once he just overpowers the door. I read a story about high end carthieves who get the VIN # off the dash through the window & then call BWM/other luxury car makers & pose as a locksmith or a dealer & ask for a replacement key. If they succeed, chirp chirp, they just cruise by & drive it off with the key, no B & E necessary. Another one of those things that are highly unlikely. Nevertheless, I threw a piece of paper over my VIN. Probably does more harm than good, but whatever. GWB

Thanks people for your advice.
I'm an amateur musician, and I play traditional Irish music. So, when I play music in an Irish pub, it's easy to meet people. But the problem is that most people who play this kind of music are uaually much older than me. Very rarely, I see young kids in their 20's or 30's. So, most of the time, I'm still the youngest kid in the group (I'm 41). It's nice to talk to older and more mature people, yes. But I don't feel that it's appropriate to call up a 65 year old retired person if they want to go to a movie with me nor do I feel that kind of connection with so much older people. Maybe this is because I'm from Japan where the society is very lateral. Anyway, I would like to make effort to meet people who are close to my age. Atsushi

I agree but by being this way it expands the horizons of J.C. Sometimes you have to look outside of the box. Why miss out on what J.C. has to offer. Your tax dollars go to the same address for all residents. And the 5 other council members and 3 at large vote for Downtown's best interest. I don't think it's wise to partition yourselves when other parts of your city may affect you.

working as a bartender in jersey city, i have seen so many people make new friends on a daily basis. it's really something i enjoy seeing actually, and i don't think it will be hard at all. get involved with some of the local events. there are plenty of things to go to where you will meet like minded people.

I have no clue how I would retire in Jersey City or anywhere in the greater NYC area for that reason, given the cost of living. I was thinking I'd have to retire to one of the states with no income tax to have any hope of surviving - Texas, Nevada, New Hampshire, Florida, Washington or Tennessee (none of which are on the list).

* Tippy's in the Heights on Kennedy Blvd (garden center now)
* Rands Ice Cream between Pavonia and Newark Avenues. It was the best ice cream anywhere. People walked or drove from all parts of Jersey City for their sundaes (now a closed down check cashing place). * Lunch counter at Liss Pharmacy up the square. Big haired servers that worshiped Mayor Hague and probably got lucky on Armistice Day. Great BLTs and coffee.

Hmm, you come on a board and suggest to people that their city resembles the aftermath of a nuclear attack, and you're surprised that some take umbrage? There's wide variety of opinions here about the past and current states of the city, but that was bound to raise some ire. There are more delicate ways to inquire about JC's industrial legacy.

1. the canton tea garden (journal square staple and jersey city landmark, now becoming a bally's)
2. ko-shing (great gourmet chinese food on montgomery across from the projects) 3. mullally's (newark at five corners, used to be a great lunch spot when i worked in the courthouse.) 4. diblazi's pizza (used to be on beacon at baldwin, best pizza in the heights until they closed in the early 90's) 5. the flamingo (i know it's still open, but they lost their overnight waitress and now the vibe is even worse than the horrible office style lights. they are renovating soon, so bye bye they go.) 6. pura vida (i know it's not a restuarant, but i really miss this place a lot.) 7. fresh tortilla's grill (journal square, not downtown) i'm sure i can think of more if i drove around and realized something else was missing...
