    Hey lud! I have an old 80s Japanese car and they can be much easier to steal than modern ones. I recommend getting someone you know (or doing it your self) to install a secret kill switch from fuel pump so the car can't run. I hid mine around the shifter boot, but you can put it under the seat, carpet or anywhere. It cut's fuel delivery so the car can't run. I recommend it especially since you live in an area like LA. Hope you see this and can make it much more secure as I love little kei trucks and don't want to see yours get harmed!

      That's an issue solely in very large cities. Crime has gotten absolutely out of control over the past 30 years with neither political party in this country really doing anything to PREVENT crime, as it's not about the tools/weapons used in them, police funding or state handouts that reduce crime, it's instilling morality and virtues on people which ultimately comes down to families. It IS telling in my book how much of these places with an overworked and hated police force are Blue cities/states, but what do I know, I've lived in both large Red and Blue cities with similar population numbers and know which one I would prefer to live in. Not saying crime doesn't happen in conservative areas by any means as I've had a car jacked from me in a pre-dominantly conservative city, but the overall numbers don't lie.
      Though honestly fuck both political parties at this point as both have devolved into pure extremism ruling both sides.
