the last line of defense would be the Big F*ckin Negro 5000... a 6'8", 320lb former defensive lineman in the NFL to stand by your car with a Louisville Slugger and start swinging when someone gets within predetermined range of your vehicle.

All this paranoia about getting your Z stolen is unwarranted. True any car can be stolen when the thief is determined but to get a 350 Z it will take the thief a lot of effort. I have yet to hear of Z being stolen where the thief makes entry into a locked car and then starts it without a key and drives off. Most thefts are of the suspicious circumstances type where the thief knew the owner and got access to his/her keys or the car was towed away.

(From a TV show, possibly from the documentary I saw on auto theft called "Stolen Every 60 Seconds", but I might be wrong...)

Supposedly, the purpose of VIN etching on all your windows is that if a thief steals your car, if they want to go through the trouble of selling your car, they'd have to not only alter the VIN plate, they'd have to replace all the windows too which is more of an expense for them.

I guess it'd make more sense for a 4 door car, wagon or van/minivan.

and make no sense at all if they part the sucker out... or ship it overseas where no one cares what the VIN is.
