Realistic Objectives
Greg Ellifritz makes a good point here about why to keep a lock on the gate to your backyard privacy fence.
You're not trying to duplicate the security level of Fort Knox, here. Like keeping the doors on your house locked and your windows secured, you're just trying to make breaking into your place a hassle. Most casual daytime burglars don't want to deal with that level of work. If they did, they'd have jobs.

Like a Commie Mobile Home in Space
After Skylab and Salyut, but before the ISS and Tiangong, there was Mir, which is Russian for "Peace" but might as well have meant "Hot Mess"...
That's probably being a little harsh, but a lot of what makes the ISS possible was learned via trial and error on Mir.

Like suddenly running over an alligator in Nebraska.
I took a couple of regular snaps with my iPhone and then backed up far enough to use the "telephoto" lens for this shot, which is probably the best cell phone photo I've ever taken of a car.
You don't often see cars like this out on the road in the winter months north of the Ohio, but it was a freakishly warm and sunny February Monday and there'd been some rain to wash the salt off the road, so I understand the urge to get some wind in your hair.
