Sorry about your car! I have an old Crown Vic that runs like a dream but looks
like a rust heap.
I used the lock you car, lock your house analogies. My coworker (who had the
most bug-ridden computer in the office) just argued with me that she didn't
have anything anyone would want on her computer. I then asked her if she ever
went online to her bank to check her bank account. She said she did. I told
her about keystroke loggers that could get her bank account information and
how someone could raid her bank account. She said if that happened, she would
just file a fraud report with the bank. I asked her how she would pay her
rent and bills in the meantime. She answered that she didn't think anyone
would ever raid her bank account. I told her she could be the victim of
identity theft. She started getting visibly annoyed (with me, not with
herself) and walked off, shaking her head, accusing me of reading bogus scare
literature and just being paranoid.
And people like this vote, and blame the schools when their children are
idiots!
