I would rather deal with cleaning up the car I still have than going through all the time and thousands of dollars in expense in replacing one that was stolen. The car stolen from my driveway was my wife's 4x4. The police found it abandoned a week later. It was badly damaged electrically from the thief's bypassing the key system with tons of cut wires under the dash and the interior was trashed.... cleaning up tear gas residue would have been easier than cleaning up what the thief left behind. The other one was my 4 door pickup stolen from my work parking lot, a bit less than two months after I paid it off. My insurance paid book value but I was $5,000 out of pocket replacing it. Like I said, I'll deal with decontaminating the ride if I can keep them from taking it.

That’s what I want... an irritant that will make the bad guy decide it is better to bail out than stay....

Long, long ago (1990s) there were ads in shotgun news for tear gas dispensers that could be electrically activated to encourage anyone breaking into your car and tripping your car alarm or breaking into your house and tripping your house alarm to vacate the car or house. I such a thing still possible to acquire?
I have had my car stolen from my work parking lot and also another from my driveway and am getting pretty tired of it.
