Don't be fooled by other people's unawareness. Even if someone was using a flashlight noone is none the wiser and they just keep moving. I work in the insurance industry and you can't imagine how many people's vehicles get broken in to.

The fact is if anything is on the seat or floor of the vehicle, to them it's worth busting open even if it was nothing because they can do it so fast. Doesn't matter how dark your tint is they just need to see more than floormats to be tempted. They don't need a flashlight anymore. a small keychain LED is sufficient to see thru the darkest tint on to the floor.

Advice we give:

-need to put something in your trunk do it before you get to the parking lot.
-have a coat or scarf....don't leave it on the seat or floor...they will think you trying to cover something up. Hang it from the front seat headreast.
-the interior of your car should like the day you bought it...only floormats.
-if at a restaurant or other public parking in the evening don't use sunshades...the incremental temprature difference is minimal in comparison to a costly theft or damage.

Sometimes, some items are near impossible to cover but if you can't hide it, take it with you. If you can't take with you and your not too far from your car, maybe walk out once or twice or even chirp your car horn with your keyless remote if you have it.

these are all suggestions. Of course they only way to prevent car vandalism and theft of items in it is to take it with you or have absolutely nothing in it.
