So now best case scenario you get 5-15 years possibility of parole after 4. By then chances are either your family has sold your precious evo to pay the bills or the bank has taken it because obviously you cant pay that note from a jail cell. Then you have the possibility that this scumbags family is going to file a wrongful death suite and sue you for a few hundred thousand maybe even the seven figure range and chances are if you were convicted of the killing in the first place they are going to win that suite and then you have to sell your evo or the state takes it and sells it for you so you can make your monthly severance pay. So what if the guy takes your car chances are either your going to get it back (maybe in the same condition maybe not) or the insurance will total it in a certain amount of time, and if you have a good plan which im sure you do they're going to pay out for it, now granted you wont get the same amount that you put in it but actual car value and you buy another one, it might not be the same but at least you have something to look forward to when you open the garage.

For starters, keep your evo neat n tidy on the inside! So when u peak thru the window u don't see a damn thing. And for the ball breaker, SET UR "VALET MODE" TO 500RPMS. The car will not start or run. Even when hotwired or jumped in any way, the car will NOT run. Until u do what u do to disable it.
It wont stop vandalism, but at least u keep the car. It takes about 3 seconds to enable valet mode before u exit ur car. So just do it! Happy Holidays

You tell the police who you are, what your wearing, and why you have pulled your weapon. Once they get there dispatch will give them that info of who you are. By taking proper measures it keeps your *** out of jail and hopefully keeps anyone from stealing your car.
