You're mistaken. I'm not cowering in fear or fright as you imagine. I am merely pragmatic considering I have waited two years for the vehicle to be delivered and I know that if it's stolen the insurance company will not payout for a replacement vehicle. It will payout what I paid but a slightly used replacement will cost more than what I am about pay due to the constrained market for these vehicles. As for your circumstance, I'm glad you have come to a reasoning that is suitable to you.

I mean it depends. In Toronto you could do that (and I usually agree with you about say, home security), but then you don't really choose where you get to park your car every time. And in a way I'd be more stressed to know that I could lose my car if I parked it somewhere that I don't know, and that I can't do anything about it once it gets stolen, versus just putting 2 locks.

But again, I totally agree with you about the weirdness of people going full military compounds in residential areas.
