You might not like the idea of getting the truck back after an orange smoke grenade has been expended in the cab however.
Every year at Christmas there is a story of a local police department setting up a car at a shopping mall with the keys in the ignition and a remote door lock and kill switch installed to nab car thieves. They get a few each year this way.
Kinda splains why I long ago decided not to be a thief....
Just not smart enough, I guess........
Your logic is flawed. But then your conclusion is based on an incorrect assumption, that there are no bright thieves. Wrong. You must watch too many cop shows where the bad guys get caught all the time. In real life many criminals are very successful. Especially the ones involved in auto theft rings. Why else do you think so many cars are stolen. Cars are stolen chopped and the parts sold everyday and people get away with it for years. They make lots of money too. There is also a thriving business of stealing very expensive luxury cars and then shipping them overseas to Asia or to Latin America. So don't think that all car thieves or any kind of thief is stupid. The young guys usually are, but the older professional thieves are smart and rich. The idea that crime doesn't pay or that all criminals get caught eventually is nothing but propaganda put out by cops. How many times have you heard it said that the "big" guys never get caught? There's a lot of truth in that.

How 'bout the bank robber that locks his keys inside the getaway car? or the bank robber that give the teller the holdup note written on the back of an envelope addressed to him? or the burgler that robs the house in the wintertime, and the cops follow his footprints in the snow right to his house? :-) Ya gotta admit - there *are* a few dumb ones.....
