warning: this is going to be a little bit "rambly". I work at a liquor store up here in jax, and as i'm closing it down i notice three people with flashlights peering around my car, and a white nissan blocking it in. I hurry up and close down and start to walk out to my car, and all three of them jump into the nissan and take off(there was obviously a getaway driver). I normally park way out in BFE becuase hence being a liquor store many a drunkard drive in there(the parking signs have to be re-bent almost nightly, and the curbs around the store are black from all the tires hitting them). Anyways, as i approach my car and go to unlock it i realize my alarm has been set off. The ironic thing is i'd had my alarm turned off for a couple of weeks because i'd been going places late and i dont like the "beep beep" that it does, but on this nite i decided to re-set it.( i actually walked back out to my car and did it after i got to work, which i think is just plain lucky). If i park up close, its only a matter of time before my car gets hit by a drunkard fool, and my car is already being stalked so parking out far just seems to be an invitation. Even if i park up close, its not like i can watch my car all the time, as i have hundreds of thousands of dollars of merchandise to look after and make sure no one shoplifts. So, as i see it, i if i park way out in BFE like normal i risk my car being stolen, and i park up close its only a matter of time before it's hit. And if it's hit, the first time i'd notice is when i go out to my car after i close(the bar next door always has bands, and theres no way i'd hear my alarm over that). I never thought i'd be worried about my 99% stock integra being stolen, but now i'm paranoid about it. I already have my hood release cable re-routed, and this week i'm installing a fuel cutoff switch, but if someone is going to go to that exten to steal it i'd almost rather them just accomplish it as my insurance will go up either way, and if it was stolen i'd just get a gs-r integra instead of my se. I'm not really looking for an "answer" as i dont think there really is a good one, i'm more or less just venting. Its only a matter of time before my car(and thusly me) is violated. this sux,
Ryan
