To some extent - but my apartment is a pretty small two bedroom, and my boyfriend is pretty good at catching them. If you have a bigger place with lots of hiding space, I could see the worry, but I always keep closet doors shut, so about the only place they can hide is under my bed or the couch - pretty easy to find them and wiggle in to grab them.

I don't know that I know here, but I wonder if she had the station wagon that was perpendicular to the cars on fire. It was pretty melted on the headlights and covered in debris. I feel so bad for the people whose cars were involved - yeah, there's insurance, but it's still a big mess :(
