How to prevent theft of your car

We are always amazed at the many ingenious ways to prevent car theft. This one looks simple and obvious but judging from the material and design to prevent scratching the car paintwork, it must be off the shelf.

Cheng just told us about how some bicycle thieves would lock the targeted bike with their own lock. This would likely force the owner to leave the bike overnight and the thief can come back later to cart it away and break owner's lock at his own leisure. It happened to her recently but she was lucky to have 3 friends to help her carry her bike to the shop to unlock the unwanted lock for 5 Euros.
