Probably a stupid question, of course they are right! Reason I ask is that (hopefully the short term) I need to leave my 458 outside (under an expensive car cover mind) but it's driven several times a week and people know it's there. I live in a nice area which is relatively low crime, some people have had cars stolen (mainly AMGs) but it's far from common. I'd convinced myself that no one would steal my 458 because:

a) they are too distinctive to use in other crimes (that's where the A45s come in)
b) joyriding seems to be a thing of the past as you need to break into someone's house to get the keys, bit much for a joyride
c) anyone stealing to order would go for a newer Ferrari and probably target central London where there are loads just left on the roads

Do you think the above is right, or am I just trying to make myself feel better and I should fast track finding some secure parking? Has anyone had any bad experiences?

I worry about the same. The thieves don't realise that we spend all our cash on cars, there's nothing of value in the house, just an angry wife. Was thinking about leaving some old white goods and maybe a rotten sofa on the drive to try to counteract the 458.
