Uh... why fake? Don't they all already have real puddles under there?
I thought you were gonna say leave the vomit on the seat. That might
actually work. How 'bout one of those movie special-effects corpses that you
can buy in the shops in Hollywood- that'd be kinda cool. Who in the hell
would break into a car with an (apparently) rotting dead guy in the seat?
I'm going to L.A. on Monday... might have to look into that. : )

Cya,
