Theft vs Frostbite.
If you were to drive around our town you would find at least a dozen cars, parked in front of various establishments with the engines running and no one inside them.
On really cold days like today (-17°C, -25°C with the wind chill - holy shit!), it would be tough to find one establishment that didn't have a car out front with the engine running.
This is yet another reason why I am glad I live in a small(er) town.
People will weigh the threat of grand theft auto against the possibility of getting back into a cold car and a warm butt wins.
Every single time.
Here is the weird part. Check with those same people in the summertime? And their cars are locked up tighter than Alcatraz. Absolutely no logic behind it. Although you really don't hear a lot about cars being stolen in the winter, I guess it's a seasonal thing.
After all, if you are stealing a car (I would assume) it means you don't have one. And when its this cold, there ain't many walkers 'oot and aboot'.

I agree though. I'd rather have a warm butt too:-)
