The cops here are lazy asses. Trust me...
And yeah they suck cause they were easiest to attempt to steal. The 1991 Buick Riviera I actually saw them running from the car, they left the door open, wipers running and shit...

I broke into alot of cars when i was a kid (15-16) and my best advice is just lock your doors. Me and my friends would break into cars for fun, and take shit (stereos, CDs, Money, ETC). The thing is since we were just stupid kids we only bothered with car that were unlocked.
And from the stats i see crappy car are stolen the most.
EDIT: Just want to make it clear i dont still do that, its was just a couple of years ago before i got a brain and decided i didnt want to get caught..

Haven't you heard of a device called a car alarm? I figure that they have them where you live. I'm guessing that you live in Canada since you use the metric system.

Lol, well, 'The Club' sells good here. They want a ride, not have to hack off the fucking steering wheel. In fact, if the steering column was steel instead of plastic, we wouldn't have vehicle theft like this. Too easy to just smash it off and bypass the key start system...
I can't wait 'till I get my own car. I expect it'll be broken into. I have low expectations for the people and policing in this town. Hell my mom's car (The 1987 Rivera) was stolen outta a fucking parkade! How the fuck do you miss a busted up car full of kids driving out of a parkade?!
Meh, I guess thats why we have insurance. My dad's truck, the Chevrolet Silverado, had a crack in the windsheild before it was stolen, and got it fixed for free. Lol, car theft happens so much it's not actually really 'bad' anymore. Its like 'Aww, they stole my car. Oh well, at least now I can get that scratch fixed
"...

Once a car is stolen.. just pray it shows up at all.
There is zip you can do about the smash and grab theives.. but if you want to stop people from driving away with your vehicle.. find the fuse box and pull one or two when you exit the car.
Pro thieves don't carry fuses.. and amateurs don't give it a second though. No one will be driving your car away.
How well this scheme works.. is based on the location of the fuse manel in your car.. and how easy it is for you to get at.

There is very little vehicle theft where I live
Fun Fact: Drivers in Saskatchewan drive the oldest cars on the road, an average age of thirteen years. That's only an average, so there are plenty of cars much older than thirteen years.

You must live in Surrey.

. Worked for everyone on that list, hasn't been touched since.Besides, if your vehicle gets stolen here, like I said, alot of people almost expect this to happen at least once. Hopefully they don't keep anything important in their car, else then your really fucked. Besides its cooler to work on your car and talk with the guys at the bodyshops around town (Lol, I know a few...) then to have to go out and buy new CD's or buy another discman, which insurance doesn't cover I think.

| Nadalin's comments come hot on the heels of Surrey's placement as the car theft capital of North America per capita. In 2001, more than 6,000 vehicles were stolen in Surrey. |
Plus Surrey was just recently given an even better title. Car theft capital of the English Speaking world.
Plus the mall thats 15 minutes from my house has the most car thefts in the parking lot then any other mall in Western Canada.
So I gotta be paranoid every time I leave my car anywhere. I'm thinking of removing my battery every time I leave the car

Well yah.. I do have a pager alarm and kill switch and a club but those are all detourants still... car thieves are getting smarter and smarter. Hopefully they will just look at my car and move on to someone without all that stuff though...
