Re: The secret to security is to make your neighbour a more attractive target

I have an old car, not obviously desirable, but valuable (perhaps only to me). If someone did want to nick it then they would be either: be knowledgeable enough to defeat the laughable locks; or just a dumb chancer who would cause a load of damage to the window, door lock and steering lock, and bodge the immobiliser. So I just leave it empty of valuables, and unlocked. Anyway, by the time they have figured out what the fuel consumption was, the thief will have abandoned it at the first petrol station.
