I'm pretty sure it has been broken into more than once, and I know plenty of others who have had their cars broken into while they were living in Baltimore as well - it is an unusually high anecdotal occurrence that I have not heard of from my friends living in any other major/semi-major city. One of my friends even had his apartment broken into and all his video games stolen (amongst other stuff) - the same friend also had his car broken into and all his stuff stolen from it, the night before he moved out.
And that doesn't even touch some of the things friends have seen happen, including killings, outright prostitution, and much more.
It's not a city that gives off good vibes, and I grew up spending plenty of time in not so good places in the Bronx and Yonkers. I remember 5 years back or so it was in the top 3 for murders (I want to say #1 or #2, which tended to juggle between Baltimore and Philly - and this was over NYC, which is a pretty amazing stat in itself).
