That was 2015. In 2013 one of the mentors was broken in the same way. So watch your door locks and look for a piercing below the handle! Even the police was disgusted with the security.
I almost didn't want to go this year but since I am not hauling a trailer for the team, I will park in a more secure spot.
As for writing it off as an urban area, poor security is poor security, whether you are in St Louis or Detroit or LA or New York.

New York takes offense.
We are not even on the top 10 list of most dangerous major us cities. STL is number 4 with Detroit sitting at number 1. Oakland and Memphis are sitting between the 2. STL also has a claim to fame with the most murder cases per 100,000 residents of any major city in America.
In all seriousness guys just use proper precaution. Make sure to lock doors, keep expensive electronics in hotel rooms and park in secured parking lots. Use proper precaution while walking at night and make sure to never be alone especially if you are a female (Not being sexist you guys are just at a greater risk).
