sh*t luck...

This morning, I come down and see that someone has taken the rear spoiler from our Honda civic that we just bought a few weeks ago. Its not even much of a spoiler, more like moulding on the trunk.

Here's a pic:

Of course the cost of something like this ($200) below our deductable, so its cash out of our pocket if we get another one. We're planning on going without one so we don't tempt another car thief. Have people heard about other thefts like this around here, where they just pull some car part off your car? What's next? Our bumper? Air bags? Windshield wipers?

I'm wishing that we didn't buy a Honda now. Our previous car (an older Honda) was stolen from our street not too long ago (the last post I did is on that). I figured that this one has an immobilizer so it should at least not get stolen, but this is something I was not expecting, especially so soon. The somerville police said that car thiefs don't hit the same area twice, which if true, makes it worse cause then there's at least two car thieves who have patrolled my area (and gotten away with it).

Wish we had a garage. Should we get one of those loud/annoying car alarms? Is there another town we should move to that is more safe where we don't have to worry about this kind of thing happening?

Is this just bad luck?

heres an idea: keep a live cougar in your car.
then, rig a sensor in your car to text your cellphone whenever anyone gets near it. when your cellphone alarm goes off, type in a quick keycode and text it back to the server and it will open your car doors and the cougar will maul the shit out of that guy.
