Just a quick warning:

We were parked in Garage 1 of the Washington Dulles airport for 10 days. We returned to a van that someone had tried to hotwire. Can't believe our luck that they didn't make off with it. I assume the steering wheel lock saved us.

Going to up our anti-theft game a bit, but am still surprised we needed to be worried in an airport parking garage.,,

Halfway job. Maybe the DC thieves with skills have all moved west where theres no consequences.

Lucky you. Yes I’d add another level of protection.
