People are idiots. I never leave keys in my car or leave the car
running while i'm gone or leave it unlocked. And i drive a beater that
nobody would even want..

Yeah, we know, it's a death trap on wheels ready to murder everybody on
the road.

Not true. Old beaters are stolen quite frequently for their parts that are
in high demand.

My 94 Integra GSR was burgled in 2003 for it's ECU,used by ricers to make
more power in their Honda/Acura cars.
I had thought it reasonably safe from burglars as long as the doors were
locked and no valuable stereo or radar detectors or other stealable item
were in sight.
I was very wrong.They will even steal CD wallets,and smash windows to get
them.

(ECU= engine control unit,the fuel injection computer;6 weeks to get a new
one,now probably unavailable)

That's an urban legend that you didn't have the brains to resist. No
one's gonna steal a car worth $400. THINK

Nor is anyone with a job going to ride in one. THINK.

Pretty damned sad statement, that no one would take your car with the
keys in it. Of course, with bald retreads filled with tar-in-a-can and
a non-fuctioning emergency brake, I'd rather walk, too.
