- gambiting 4y agoYes, but like I said - if you have a Lamborghini or a Ferrari sitting in your driveway and someone comes to steal it, they didn't just happen to be walking past - they are there to take your car. Either on order, or it's been targeted through long time observation already. If there is a lock on the wheel they will come into your house, put a gun to your head and "ask" for you to take it off. There is no deterrent you can use because they are not there to be deterred - wheel locks work against opportunistic thieves because then yes, like with bikes - a thief will just move on to the next easier target.
- s1mplicissimus 4y agomay i ask in which region of the world you live where people have ferraris in their driveway but it's also dangerous enough for people to invade your home and put a gun to your head to steal it from you?
- gambiting 4y agoVery common(relatively speaking) in the UK if you live in London/Birmingham/Manchester and drive a fancy car. There was a time couple years ago when no insurance agency wanted to insure any Range Rover in London because they were being stolen at such incredible rates. Break-ins specifically to steal car keys and subsequently the car is one of the most common types of burglaries in the UK still.
