People parking their $70000 vehicle on the street so they have storage room for the soloflex and boxes of old magazines they never had the heart to get rid of. Then paying to have the car repaired after it’s broken into or gets hail damage.

Yeah, I'm kinda in this picture.

New truck (EV Ford though), parked outside, gym equipment in the garage...

If it makes it any better, the truck is too long anyway. And my street is unlikely to be targeted by burglars.
