I'm a bit late to this thread, as I usually am, but I do have two comments:
Seaver, did I read correctly? Thieves hang out by cars in thunderstorms, scratch some paint off to make a connection, wait for lightning to strike the car, then steal it? Do they hide in the bushes waiting for lightning to strike? Have any of them ever been struck by lightning hanging out that close? (I'm sort of joking, but not really since I am curious.)
And to the LoJack people: They guarantee the price of the alarm system. But if your car is stolen, what good is getting the price of the alarm system going to do? You're still out a car. I guess they can buy another alarm system (that apparently didn't work) and carry it around with them until their car is either recovered, the insurance goes through (if their policy covers theft), or they pay off the stolen car and buy another one. (I'm sort of joking, but not really.)
And absence of color: There's nothing wrong with putting bling on your ride....as long as your ride isn't, like, a 1987 Yugo or something like that. There IS, however, something wrong with saying "I put some bling wheels on my ride."
