I had hoped with that post that prospective ownerss can put some thought to plan ahead and have a garage or somewhere more secure than just a public street to park/store your car, it would not be fun to find your Lotus damaged by someone.

I am happy to say that I live in a very safe, and secure neighborhood in Boca Raton, FL. I work in a very safe area too (Downtown Delray Beach, FL). The owner of my firm drives a new Porsche Carrera 4S convertible, and an 04 Carrera S. He's never had any problems parking outside thank goodness. Except the time he forgot to pull the hand brake before getting out. The car rolled across the parking lot while he was in the office. . . it only hit the curb. Kind of funny. Lucky bastard. People next door also drive really nice cars, and no problems with them either. I guess that's why I was a little shocked by the stories I've read. . . . I think people down here are more aware of high end cars, and exotics, and don't mess around. Now if you are someone who may have an enemy, then you're on your own. . .
