I have no sympathy for thieves but, living in a country where it became much more usual to have either full-perimeter fences or high walls around the lots, it does surprise me such approach is still not taken so often in the United States, seemingly in fear of making the neighborhood look "dangerous". Well, usually in "safe" boroughs in Brazil I see electric fences and other security measures more often.

To some extent, it does surprise me how many Americans seem to treat a car as disposable, while in countries such as mine even if a car won't be babied or turned into a trailer queen it's not so unusual to see some attempts to patch a rust hole with different degrees of either a good craftsmanship or a makeshift...
