Most parking lots are equipped with security cameras, but there are many cars parked there and there are blind spots. Especially at night, there are almost no people around. The perpetrators probably think it is difficult to discover their crimes.

However, due to improvements in the ability to analyze security camera footage, there are fewer and fewer cases of perpetrators being able to escape. The perpetrators are no longer allowed to act with an optimistic outlook.
