No one looking at Porsche, but the '90 Escort (Plain Jane econo-box) my wife and I had was attempted three times. Once the stupid wrecker driver told my father-in-law he was only reposesing it (we paid cash for the used car). Guy drove off real fast as the cops showed up.

But I do want to address cops. Having worked with Security and the Federal Prosecutor while in the Air Force, I believe that cops only reflect the average person. People smart enough to be brain surgeons are. Approaching with reasonable care, facts, paperwork, and explainations will almost always win the day. Keep in mind that most thieves are not as smart as most cops and it is a dangerous profession that most of us would not wish to attempt.

I agree with Racer that German cops are on the lower end of the scale, along with the French. But several years in Belgium gave me nothing but respect for the Belgian Gendarmes.
