Abstinence.  No, really now, it is common knowledge that the greasers during
the fifties were known to line their fender skirts with razor blades in order
to prevent theft.  Sure.  While I cannot attest to that, I did once see the
bloody trail left by the one too many drunks who tried to tear down the
hanging sign over the entrance to my buddy's go-go bar (known today as a
gentlemen's club).

It takes some balls to do something like this.  But, more importantly, it
takes even more presence of mind whenever the van is taken in to have the
coolant changed.
