Pickup trucks is handy to have when stealing copper and catalytic converters.

I had it sitting in my driveway loaded full of brush, windows down and doors unlocked for over a week...the thieves in my 'hood knew better...too bad, I wouldn't mind having more room to park my other junk.

No imports on the list?
Nationally, the Honda Civic/Accord has been the top theft target for years.
Guess nobody around here wants that old foreign stuff that you can't work on without 5 computers and an Asian guy.
