> Never mind the bollards....

From Wikipedia...

... Lawyer Geoffrey Robertson, who appeared with Mortimer, recalled the professor saying that early English translations of the Bible used "bollocks" to refer to testicles, this being replaced by the word "stones" in the King James Version of the Bible, at which point Rotten handed Robertson a note saying, "Don't worry. If we lose the case, we'll retitle the album Never Mind the Stones, Here's the Sex Pistols"...

When we are traveling, using motels, I pull the starter fuse on my Expedition when I park it overnight. Put it in my pocket for safekeeping. Truck may get ransacked, but it will still be where I parked it when I return to it.

installing retractable bollards in their driveways

Are they assuming that car thieves are too dumb to drive around their bollards?

In Canada theives were breaking into homes to get keys to steal peoples cars.

The Canadian solution was to tell people to leave their key fobs outside their door and people would not break in to get your car keys.

I kid you not.

You can buy a quick battery disconnect from any auto store for a couple of bucks, just a turn of the knob and your car won't start.
