“Imagine keeping one of these things on street parking in Boston or New York or Chicago..”
That would be cruel to the catalytic theft industry.
I have to tell my Boston street parking story (from many decades ago).
I went to college there and my wonderful grandmother allowed me to take her old car to college with me.
I parked it on the street and never had any issues.
I was rather naive at the time—but when one of my classmates saw it they started cracking up...
You see—it was a purple Cadillac and the locals were convinced I was a pimp.
