I was in Hawaii recently and some a$$hole broke into my rental Mustang Convertible (completely STOCK, nothing flashy at all). Guess what 'gold' I had inside? A bag of roasted chicken, a $10 snorkeling set (mask, fins, and snorkel), and an underwater camera with pictures of colorful fish. Fortunately they didn't break any windows or slice the top (they just punched the lock with a flat screwdriver or something similar).

I was glad that I had nothing valuable inside, but the whole deal pissed me off. IT reminded me of something I read in a car magazine a while back about carjackings in South Africa. Armed carjackings were getting to be so common that a few people started installing flamethrowing nozzles along the sides of their cars that blasted flames 5'-10' out!

I'd love to rig up something like that and have it remote controlled, then set up something attractive and just hide around and wait. Of course the legality of this is questionable.
