    believe it or not, most criminals are not stealing your car to get into a race with the cops - that's not really the objective. Actually, as hybrid demand goes up, it will go up the 'most commonly stolen' list. Camrys didn't get their with their ferocious 0-60 time.

    on topic, i'm glad to hear that you could just drop or toss the fob, and the car wouldn't start even if they knew how to start the car.

    Are you paranoid? No, just smart.

    Should you worry? No more than with any other car.

    Some day, on Stupid Criminal Tricks, we'll hear about a would-be Prius thief and his or her comic adventure.

    Wish Candid Camera had been able to set up a car thief with a Prius. :lol:

    Don't need speed in a police chase. I've seen cars go in circles before and most of the time they just do the speed limit.
