Everyone should do it.
Yep i agree, been the same with my cars..
nearly got hijacked once in my ford fiesta 1.25 Zetec.. (yes they must have been desperate!) and since that day im rather paranoid in my car, always keep an eye on everything going on around my car when i park/walking towards it etc..
Cousin who is a cabby in london told me a funny story, for obvious reasons cabbys are often beaten up and so its seen as a good idea to have something in the car to defend themselves with, it used to be a bat and ball in the boot, but now police are wise to that, then it was the one metre long mag light! but again, its a little too brutal being made in quite strong metal.. latest thing is a walking stick! lot of cabbys have them in their cars and if an officer ever enquires, it was 'left by an old passenger!"..
thought that was quite a good one..
I worked as a kid in a gun shop we used to sell lots of 6D maglites to policemen. If they drew a truncheon they had a long report, if they pulled their torch no report, just so happened the torch dealt a bigger blow than the truncheon
