Nah, you just need to move. I went to Europe for 2 weeks and left 2
Harley's in an unlocked garage, and 2 unlocked Jeeps in the driveway.
Last thing I had stolen was a toolbox, out of a locked camper shell,
back when I lived in SoCal.

Maybe that's a cultural thing, but my father-in-law does the same thing.
Plus, it's a Chrysler Concorde that is completely stock, and has
absolutely NOTHING in it to steal. In-laws. :)
