Your best bet is to install a passive anti theft system with an alarm (albeit not too sensitive).
let me just tell you that the alarm system would cost more than my car probably...

How about a giant boxing glove on a spring that is triggered when someone opens the door or starts the engine without a key? Kinda like Data's jacket in The Goonies.
LOL!!!

Wasn't that the ad with John Glover in in RocoCop 2? My personal favourite, directed by the Kersh. "Beeehaaave yourselves!!!!" Heh.

But there's really one thing that can stop carjackings all over the world: fighting unemployment and crime.
Ahh the last of the idealists.
Current power structures have no interest in solving these problems only in disenfranchising them further, after all where is their power? What campaign contributions have the poor and the unemployed made lately?
To achieve true equity the kind only written and dreamed about would involve a massive shift away from exploitative capitalism in the global marketplace and a dissolution of the elite 'haves' in order to solve the problems of the 'have-nots'.
I like to think I'm a fairly Marxist guy and as "Bolshevy" as they come without living on the street but unfortunately I just don't see it happening. Democratic communism works in theory, but the theory doesn't factor in the general crappiness of human nature.
The future is looking pretty dystopic from where I sit, Fritz Lang and George Orwell were spot on. Corporatisation of the Governments will result in the 'have-mores' and the dead.
Just sit back and enjoy the ride down.

In other news, I can't believe I fell for Moore's depiction of Canada in BFC. But then, I guess the guy's so deceptive that everybody falls for a little something in his films.

well new update...
insurance wont pay for the damages done to the car due to the fact they'll cost more than the car itself...
i think they are taking into consideration an accident that happened not too long ago.... which is what im trying to fight for...
so if they end up writing it off i'll get $700...
man does life ever go your way?
lol

Sounds like Alice Sebold's "The Lovely Bones."
