That is obvious.

The reasons could be overwhelming:
-High temperatures
-Skyrocketing vegetable prices...
-etc etc....

Good old fashion keys for me. Good old fashion credit card for me too [yes, I am a 14 year old with a Credit Card]. Nobody needs to invest thousands into stealing my car. Just pick the door lock [not hard], then pick the ignition lock [again, not hard].. and then get nowhere. The best security device? Having a car that doesn't run . Just look below, that'* my engine right now. Try and crack that!
