The issue should not be why you are parking in your drive. There are families with teens who also drive and parking is not just 2 cars any longer.

I lived in a "luxury apartment" complex years ago and purchased a used Carolla dispite making good money at the time. There were so many stolen cars even though there was a gate. I didn't buy anything better until I bought a house. Never got stolen.

I'm afraid to buy a
sweetie : Ugh that is my biggest fear with my husband's truck. It's on the top 3 list of stolen trucks ('20 Toyota Tacoma) We would have a really hard time replacing it with something decent because used car sales are insane!
 
Plus it's his baby 🙄😂😂😂
 
StormChaser: I hate to say it but I'm not sure I would buy a Tacoma or Forerunner. Good vehicles but I feel like it's a matter of time until the CC gets stolen.

To all out there. Get some sort of tracking and/ or alarm on your truck/s. Mine was stolen almost 2yrs. now out of my driveway in NWH's. Never recovered. Ford F-250.

Blaming people whose cars are stolen from their own driveway is a little too much like blaming a rape victim for her wardrobe. Maybe it's just me. Not everyone has a garage big enough for all of the family cars.

dan4182 : After my DS's truck was stolen (and recovered by us) we put both the Club and an Apple Air Tag in every vehicle, except my car. Nobody wants my car, there's no room for the coyotes to bring people across in it, and the trunk will hold little more than a golf shirt. Emoticon
 
There is some question on whether the Air Tag can be disabled by the thief's phone but it's so cheap that we'll take the chance and hope it works for tracking.

We've got a house and an inexpensive used car in Costa Rica. Car theft is pretty frequent down there so we have an Apple air tag hidden in the car. I can sit on my sofa here at home in Sand Creek and see exactly where the car is in Costa Rica. They work really well for that purpose.

OBSD68 : I don't think it's victim blaming, but just saying that if you have a garage full of moving boxes, Christmas decorations (unused for six years) and old clothes you haven't worn in ten years that maybe it's time to get rid of the crap and protect your $50,000 investment.

Baldrick : I put a cat shield on son's Tacoma, and so far, knock on wood, no theft in two years.
 
Also put one on another relative's 2023 Tacoma after the cat was stolen.
 
I've looked at them and have decided I could just weld some rebar to the frame and make a cheap cat protector. Not in the summer though. My welding helmet is stored until at least the first fall cool front. Emoticon
