Is there really any risk in big cities in leaving your EZPass transponder attached to your windshield?

A New Yorker told me not to do it if you park on the street, but I noticed numerous cars on the UWS with the thing mounted—is this just being overly anxious? (taking it with you)

1. Well of course there is the risk of someone breaking in to steal it and use it for themselves. It wouldn't last very long, because as soon as you discovered it missing you would report it and it would no longer work. I never put one on my windshield because I thought it looked tacky and I used it on my other vehicles. This was in Chicago. Denver requires you to have one for each vehicle. Yeah right.
