It's somewhat of a rare car here, not too many on the roads, so the parts from it would be pointless to steal.

Four easy blows with a hammer and drift the steering lock is smashed and you can turn the ignition with a screw driver. It can be done in about thirty seconds. You might as well leave the keys in them if you do not use the club or similar device. I am surprised that Jolt's car has not been stolen for parts yet. In Vancouver it would gone and stripped for parts in no time. S

Lol yes, i love my car, it was my first, sadly i need to get rid of it soon, 191k miles on it. It should still have another 100k on it, but the fuel efficiency on it is crap now, plus i need larger car to take my kites n stuff along.

I hate to say it but Toby came down to the beach one time when I was flying on Jekyll Island and he said "You know your car door is wide open in the parking lot?" So I go up there, and it is indeed, and the kitemobile trailer is unlocked. Sheesh I am lucky, but Jekyll is nice that way. While I take my wallet with me, I will leave camera and other trinkets (car keys ) buried in my kite bag on the beach with spare kites while I buggy away up to a mile or more.

I have gotten more careful about the locks though. Can't/ Shouldn't push my luck...

scud ,did I mention I got security cameras watchin my crib.Dvr records anything that movesand sends a copy to pc in remote location.If anything happens on my street around my house I can see it. I would find the little bastages myself and call the law and prosecute em. If I catch em red handed, "I can call the cops, or I can beat your a$$, your choice" let them decide their fate.
I'm down for either

Hell if i had that kind of set up, and google on myside, I'd make up some personal revenge scheme...

i got my new bike nicked out my back garden only had a couple of weeks..

police think is prob a neighbour, one in particular, nothing can be done though.

mum has just got insurance that covers the kites in the car through NFU Mutual..

bloody wankerz

We do that here, in the 'club house' parking lot - cars wide open, gear everywhere ... theft is almost unheard of here.

... white collar crime, banking scams and rip-off con-jobs though
