Well, I live in a relatively small city, so I don't typically worry much about crime (though clearly it does happen...) I never thought of my car as standing out much until I got custom wheels put on it. I honestly think that made all the difference: it was at that point that my car became a target, despite the fact that these wheels or only subtly different from the factory originals. The price I pay for looking cool!

Anyway, yes, I typically park in a garage, but this one time I happened not to. *sigh*

It'll be interesting to see what the insurance company does to try and replace my Empeg. I wonder how often they have to deal with eBay...
