- Maybe I just don't apppreciate the situation, but it seems to me that if you
- live in a high theft area, the answer to the problem is to drive something
- not worth stealing, or move. I worry enough in a reasonably safe area that I
- don't leave my 55 Chevy unattended. Usually, it's locked in the garage. And
- I don't drive an expensive commuting car. Besides the fact I can't afford
- one :-) , I don't think I could stand to drive or park it where some idiot
- could hit or vandalize it.
