Yep, car alarms don't stop the really determined. I
would favor the kind of alarm system I saw in one of
those Robocop movies where the thief gets
electricuted, but you know how that goes.

This desensitation thing is there, too. I had to break
into my car once for the usual stupid reason of
locking my keys in my car. That's pretty hard to do in
a Scirocco, but I did it. So there I am breaking into
my car with a coat hanger, people walking by like
water buffalo watching lions eating one of their
own.Total apathy in other words.
