Answers:
First let me say I'm sorry that you and your neighbors have become victims of crime, unfortunately its something that happens hundreds of times per day in America.
As mentioned above, the first thing you and your neighbors should do is report the crimes to the police.
And yes, you should also be sure to remove valuables from your vehicle when you leave it unattended, or at least put them in the trunk where they won't be seen.
But even taking this precaution and locking your car will not prevent a determined thief from breaking the windows of a vehicle and removing the radio or CD player.
If investing in an advanced car alarm system is not in your budget, you may want to try one of the affordable do-it-yourself alarms available from Safey Technology : http://shmyl.com/yddoson
I hope they find the person(s) who committed this crime against you and your neighbors, though even if they do its very likely that the possessions stolen have already been sold or pawned.
take all valuables out of your car when you park it.
Report it to the police and see if you can get some extra cars patroling your area.
Don't leave anything valuable in your car. If your stereo has a faceplate that comes off, take it in the house. If you're worried about your car being stolen, get The Club, a device that attaches to your steering wheel. If you have an alarm system, activate it.
A fence around the cars may not help. It may be someone who also lives in the apartments. The best thing is to have everyone whose cars were broken into report the loss to the police, no matter how small. The next thing that everyone should do is to be sure to remove everything of value out of their vehicle, not just at night, but always! Maybe instead of a fence your neighbors could come together and form a neighborhood watch. Many police offices have classes and instruction for this.
