Puzzling spike in auto thefts, many of them violent, worries D.C.-area police Paul M. Duggan Jose Banzon, who works in advertising, was spreading holiday cheer in his 2014 Acura SUV, bringing gifts of wine and candy to clients in the District. Just after 6 p.m. on Dec. 15, on the eastbound side of U Street NW in the Cardozo area, he pulled to the curb and got out, leaving the motor running, a bad mistake. “Now, all this took about 30 seconds,” he said of what happened next. In the back of the Acura, in a box, were a half-dozen bottles of cabernet sauvignon and packages of chocolate truffles. He had stopped the SUV to move the gifts to the front seat so he could easily reach them as he made his rounds. Grabbing the box, he stepped to the front passenger door, opened it and put the presents inside.
