Some years ago , I had a friend that had a old car and one day there was note on his front seat that said " at first I was going to steal you car , but instead I put ten dollars on the seat : )
this was an old SNL or Monty Python joke- “A man is mugged in New York city every 30 seconds- and here he is” and during the interview the one man kept getting mugged.
My aunt had her car stolen from the church parking lot. She had a steering wheel lock, but she just placed it on the wheel without securing it. The car was found a couple of days later with its front end stuck in a lake. Surprisingly, once it was cleaned up, she could still drive it.
At one time Fred Rogers’ car was stolen. He reported it to the police and they did whatever it is they do about stolen care. The story was picked up by the press and within 24 hours it was on all the local news and in the papers. It even made the national news. 48 hours after the car was stolen it was found in the spot from where it had disappeared with a full tank of gas and a note stating, “We are very sorry. If we had known it was yours, we would have left it alone.”
Ok, Ok, I admit it was my car. I did start locking it but was so forgetful that I locked my keys in the car several times and I had to wait so long for AAA to come open it for me.
Even then it wasn’t that bad until the one time it started raining hard while I was waiting for AAA and I had left the top down and the upholstery was getting soaked.

I know it’s just to set up the joke, but once every three minutes is way off. It’s around twice a minute within the USA.

If I can ever afford a new car, I’ll definitely install a hidden fuel cutoff switch that has to be opened by a code from my smartphone.

It’s a country of 360 million people. In a sample that large, bad things will occur with some regularity.

Car alarms are only good to help find your car in a parking lot.

And speaking of cars, someone needs to take the boot lock off his brain.
