herbgeek, I have yet to figure out why the keyless ignition helps me in my life. So far it is a negative.

Usually car theft is for trendy that are in demand overseas whole or for parts - that is what I am reading. What kinds of autos are trendy in Colorado?

Subarus mostly. I read that many cars are stolen to be used in crimes and then abandoned. Theft of catalytic converters is huge too.
A sibling had a catalytic converter stolen out of a Prius a couple weeks back. Insurance considered the car "totaled".Originally Posted by pinkytoe

Here, they will take any car they can grab in an opportunity. Some models are easy to start up.
I told the story several times here of one middle aged station: I didn’t put the club on it one day and it was unlocked. That was two opportunities for thieves, so they took it. They just drove it around and dropped it at a neighborhood bordering ours. Since we knew that was the MO of most of these thieves, DH drove the streets around our area every time he went someplace, taking a different route each time. Sure enough, he spotted it.
We had to call the cops to tell them we had found it because we didn’t want to be driving around with a car that was reported stolen. They sent out their team that gets cars started for people, only that team was unable to get it started. So once again DH was a hero, he went home and got his tools, came back and started up the car. The thieves had wrecked the steering column.
I love my garage for just that reason but few apartments or condos around here include secure parking.

Our neighborhood’s insurance rates go down when someone has a garage.
We have two garages in the city but still we have more vehicles than vehicle spaces.
Some freezing rain overnight so I had some ice on my car when I left for work. Ran the car for 10 minutes with me in it and I didn’t even have to scrape.
Work smarter, not harder.
I did the same thing this morning but for a semi different reason. I had frost on my windows but the reason I didn't scrape them was because I had just thrown something out in our trash can and there was something inside the can (probably a raccoon). I tossed the bag in and immediately heard a bunch of commotion going on inside the can so I closed the lid quickly and ran to my car. No way was I going back out and grab the scraper and scrape my windows. Our garage light doesn't always work even though it's motion sensor so I couldn't see what was inside the can (nor did I really want to)
Yesterday I managed to drop my ceramic coaster on my favorite dog water bowl breaking it. When I picked up the bowl a piece of ceramic lodged in my thumb and was bleeding a lot right as I should have been leaving for the dentist. I had 3 layers of bandages on before it quit bleeding through. Today I take out my favorite polish pottery coffee mug , fill it with coffee and microwave. Taking it out of the microwave I drop it breaking the cup and making a big mess. The only good thing is that I dropped it on the countertop versus my new glass top stove. I can go years without breaking stuff. Ugh!
