If they thief is determined enough, not much will really stop them from getting the car. However, the factory security system does a decent job of discouraging someone from stealing the car.

We thought they were towing the vehicles for parking problems, but they actually were stealing them .
I know the area well. If the tow truck would have left the Benz, a 15 y/o out on a school night at 1 a.m. would have taken it. BUT it would not be his fault, he comes from a broken home and those policemen just pick on him all the time. It would be in all the papers and local news. I just avoid downtown at all costs.

If you're going to post on a public forum, the least you can do is reread you entry before hitting submit. I agree, grammar police can be a little pretentious and annoying, but there's no excuse for near illiterate posts.

And I think Vegas was kidding, and certainly didn't warrant the personalized "*****" response.

At least he spelled "*****" correct.

All I'm saying is if a guy wantd us to put out the effort to respond to his query the least he can do is put out the effort to make his post clear and readable.

I really don't think anyone should take it personally. I just get annoyed by the grammar police. I was being nice by saying "*****" . Thanks for understanding my point of view.
