    OTOH, your car is most likely to be hit in the wee hours of the morning or in a parking garage.

    I've been leaving it open, parked in the darkest spots I can find near the projects. Are there any other incentives you can think of?

    Depends on the car. Lewis Grizzard said he had a Vega that he hated so much that he did the same thing. Problem was it would never start so he would hide in the bushes with a set of jumper cables. Finally a guy tried to steal it, it wouldn't start, he jumped out with the cables to help him and the guy said 'no thanks'.

    Also- +987 on the fear that they will come back. Especially on a commercial hit. They wait for you to replace all the old crap you lost, then come back to get the brand new replacement stuff. I've seen this happen MANY times.

    +1 on that, my truck got hit back when i was in college, then they came back about 3 weeks later, about 5 days after the ins. company replaced the previous stereo that had been stolen. after that, i convinced the ins. co. to spend a little more money and buy me a detatchable face radio. they came back again in another 3 weeks, broke the window but got nothing since i had removed the faceplate.
