\s In reality, if someone really wants your wheels, they'll get them.
Oakland?I live in an inner city gentrified neighborhood where we've got $400K-$500K homes right alongside 70/80-year-old homes whose main value is basically the land itself. There are a hell of a lot of poor people in the neighborhood who are the nicest people I've ever met, and there are some asshole rich people here, too. It comes with the territory. There are also some sketchy zones, like the drug corner at the end of my block (that I honor and respect by never reporting and effectively staying out of the game in any way).
I recognize my situation is a bit unique, and I do what I can because I'm a vigilant mofo in deterring thieves from my baby. I have wheel locks, and I keep the key in my messenger bag at all times (the bag is always with me when I drive and not in the car otherwise as my wife does not drive my vehicle). When my wife's car isn't parked behind mine in our super steep driveway (another awesome deterrent that wasn't planned but works well), I keep my keys in a Faraday pouch. I also keep a knock-off club on my steering wheel for safe measure, and lastly I have a dedicated camera system watching the vehicle closely at all times from my home.
But no, I'm not worried!
