What’s the deal with car theft?

[terracore]

A lot of cars are stolen specifically to commit other crimes, so vehicles aren't targeted for theft based on chop shop prices because the cars are usually ditched (sometimes set on fire) after the other crimes are committed. So owning a junker won't protect you. The best protection is to maintain comprehensive coverage and not keep anything important in your car.

I'm not too worried about a car getting stolen from our house but it's something I think about when I park in a lot. If you find a practical solution I'd be interested in hearing about it.
