Fear of the Day

I didn't read your link because I've read others before.

This freakin' sucks, doesn't it? I mean, you park your car, any where it seems {except if you can put it in your garage} and they can do this. It has been going on for a while. And, if you don't notice it right away, it will mess up your car, right?

I can't believe how people spend so much time to find things to do that rip honest people off. The punishement for crimes like these {including identity theft, credit card theft, etc.} should be high because the effects to the victims is costly and can be long and painful.

Yes, but it'd be immediately obvious. The instant you start up, the car will sound very wrong and you will be very motivated to kill the engine.

I imagine the most likely targets are suvs and trucks that have a high enough ground clearance to make it easy to get underneath.

I also imagine that, seeing as they didn't even bother mentioning in the article how often this crime is being reported, it's not even remotely as wide spread as they'd like you to believe.
