Brother has bad luck with cars.

Less than a year ago, my brother's Toyota Corolla, was totalled by a woman driving a Ford Excursion, who wrongly beleived she had the right of way ("Don't bigger vehicles have the right of way" seems to be a commons misjudgement among SUV owners)
Today, the toyota's replacement, a Honda Accord was stolen. He parks it probably less than 50 feet from the exact spot he works, and he only has to step outside the door to see it.
I've never had any of my cars stolen (despite rarely locking them, and recently having developed a bad habbit of leaving the keys in the ignition) But I guess that the $400 the cars are worth, and the $15 they'd be worth once reduced to parts, isn't worth the effort of opening the door, and starting the engine
Anyway I hope he gets it back in good shape, I'd hate to have him find out that it was stripped, or have it retured all smashed up, after a drunken joy ride.

Well.. honda accord. Isn't that really high on the thieves list? That's why you gotta get something that no one would want to steal. Like some 2 stroke POS
