Car break-ins up dramatically in the South End, Fenway and Back Bay

Boston Police report that car break-ins across the city are up 6% this year - but up 52% in Area D-4, which covers the Back Bay, the South End, Fenway and part of Roxbury.

Police say motorists need to stop leaving valuables - such as GPS units, MP3 players and plain cash - in plain sight when they leave their cars. Also, they need to remember to lock their doors.
