it is sad but the reason i wont buy anymore flash cars, or blingy alloys is partly to do with car crime.. i don't have a garage but car crime ain't too bad around here.
in fact..
when i had my 300zx i was coming home from work and i was setting the car up to reverse it in the drive (car facing the opposite pavement) and there were 5 chavs in their obligitary burberry gear. One of them decides to pick a stone up and throw it at the car.. so i abandon the car, locking it obviously and chase the wee feckers up the street. Being wee ball-less ned twangers then ran a mile. So 5 mins i'm still in a shirt and tie and i get back in the car and go hunting. I find them and get out with a wheel-brace and chase the donald duck round a back garden but he got away.
But after that they kick my house door etc and run to the bottom of the road, a goo 100 yards away at least. They shout abuse and as soon as i take a step out the garden the run like hell... sad little cowards, i hate them.
