    my main strategy against car theft is to have a car so terrible no one in their right mind would want to steal it

      I tried that once. Came down in the morning to find it had vanished from my driveway. My main consolation is they would have ended up upside-down in a ditch if they tried to corner too fast.

        See, that's because your car was still too nice.

        Once your engine has sheered off 90% of the flywheel's teeth and it takes an average of 7 tries to start, anyone's gonna assume it doesn't start.

      Had someone break a front window of my work vehicle to steal the instruction manual. Have no idea why they didn't just smash the back windows and go for the tools instead.

      Wasn't too much of an issue other than cleaning up the glass as it was going into the body shop anyways, but it was confusing. Another confusing thing is that there was a Bugatti in the same parking lot, and they went for the banged up work vehicle instead.
