I live two blocks from the theater and the area is safe day and night. You will see many people walking up and down Capitol Avenue prior to the performance having come from two nearby. restaurants, Peppercorns and Republic. As others have said the state parking lots on Capitol Avenue across the street from The Bushnell are perfectly safe and decently lit. Just don’t leave anything visible in your car, i.e., don’t create a crime of opportunity by leaving a bag or some thing in your backseat just invites trouble. This is true for parking in any city at any time, anywhere.

The only thing I have in my car that's valuable and visible is my dash cam. I can't really remove it do you think anyone would care about that?

If it’s mounted with a suction cup, then I would say take it off and put it in the glove box. If it’s hard mounted to the dash then I wouldn’t worry about it because if you can’t easily remove it, then it’s highly unlikely that a thief in a hurry could as well.

The front one is suction cupped but I have all the wires taped down so I can't remove those without having to redo everything. The back one is just adhesive so it wouldn't stick back up if I take it down. I just don't want someone breaking my window for any reason, if that's a high possibility maybe taking my car isn't a good idea?? Sorry, just want to make sure I understand.

I would say these parking lots are akin to parking your car at the mall. If you’re comfortable leaving your dash cam in your car at a mall parking lot then you should be fine here. Hartford isn’t Caracas.
