The dealership I bought my car from was having problems with cars getting stolen on Sundays - In Colorado dealerships are required to close on Sunday due to a state law. To solve the problem they now install car alarms that disable the engine when activated.

Hmmm, that's unfortunate. The economy is bad enough, you'd think they'd do away with that law so people can try to sell their inventory 7 days a week if they feel like it?!

They just did that with liquor stores. Not suprising the same amount of liquor is sold 7 days that was sold in 6.

I don't think it'll matter. If its state law, I'm sure the residents of that state have adapted to that already. That just means a higher average on the six days they're open.

Immobilzers may be the best deterent but even that doesn't stop some thieves. Some "professionals" even use tow trucks to just load the car and go. This happened in the Atlanta area a few years ago. The thugs even did it in broad daylight. They only got caught because they did it too much.
The idea that "real thieves" only steal super exotic cars is just a Hollywood myth. The stats posted above prove it. Which is easier for a criminal to unload? A stolen $350,000 Ferrari or a Civic? Which is easier for cops to track down? It seems pretty obvious. Always lock your car and keep your insurance paid up.
