yes it is much easy to nick lol
that is why it is popular, than ferrari.
When was the last time he here a joy rider nick a Ferrari

you should watch the IK police report it on BT.
they say most of the joy riders will never nick supercars or cars like that becasue they are much harder to start them up.
This is why mid field car are easier to nick and start them up.
also if I nick a car to drive fast I would never nick a Ferrari or a lambo.....
the police can spot you a mile away

Think about all the Ferraris, Porsche Turbo/GT2/GT3, Lambo's etc... They are so common in Hong Kong and they can beat most cars EASILY! Only Enzo and Veyron may be the fastest!!!!
yes Porsche Turbo are quite fast

most owners of such cars won't drive fast, only the kids of the owners drive it like video game.

joy riders, nutters, speednuts, they are everywhere, but in HK there are so many trucks, only an
idiot would drive so fast......

there was a kid called richard pryor where i lived,
he was a farmer boy, he had a daihatsu 4trak.......
and welded steel bars around the chassis +nitrous.... and played chicken with someone he didn't like,
some guy in a 2.8capri, guess who went to hospital for fun???yep weird but true.

in UK there are some really fast sleeper cars, primarily the van boys, escort estate vans with Cosworth running gear.....
0-100 in 4 secs, bye bye boy racers!

and the No.1 Numero Uno stolen car was the Ford Sierra Sapphire Cosworth, 4 doors and 150mph and 0-100 in 5.5secs...
unmodded, was the ideal getaway car!

i got caught on the A2 doing 235kmh in my Cosworth.....in winds of 60kmh,
policewoman who stopped me (2miles later) asked me why i could drive so fast, i said it was because it was steady with such a
large spoiler... which brings me back to the bullet aerofoil spoiler in carbon fiber......

they don't have the brains to steal a supercar,
if i had one i would put AC current on the handles and
fry the buggers
