A lot of the cellular gps trackers have ignition kill capability, where you can send it a specific sms message and it’ll pull a wire to ground or open circuit a pair of wires, which you can use to remotely kill the engine. A friend of mine got a motorcycle back by watching its movements via the gps tracking, and killing the engine while the guy was riding in a safe-ish and high visibility place, so the thief just par…
I imagine (not a lawyer) that this expose you to a variety of charges.
Who's gonna sue him? The car thief?

I suspect Croatia might have better law enforcement and attorneys than SF does (look up Chesa Boudin)
Ah yes, the solution to crime in the country with the highest incarceration rate, is more incarceration!
If you think the only logical conclusion of law enforcement is incarceration, then I feel bad for you and your country.

‘You can't predict unless you have the will to perform a prediction.’ I’m fairly certain fish can predict the course of future events, to a fairly high degree of accuracy, in relation to seasonal changes in water temp, food density, etc… e.g. spawning salmon
That's comparing apples and oranges. Perhaps, fish have free will, but this conversation is about human beings, where we have the internal laboratory apparatus required for introspection and determination. We can create hypothesis and tests, then inspect results. We are directly able to test, through choice, to prove that we have free will. It is foolish to compare yourself to a fish, though your ability to compare y…
That’s a fairly reductive definition of ‘will’ if fish can have it.
It is not clear at all your claim is true in the general case, which is the point. Humans differ from fish not in kind, but only in degree, a few hundred million years of evolutionary divergence as the biologists would have it. Unless of course special factors such as a ‘soul’ are assigned to humans and so on.

You didn't address anything I wrote, instead choosing to create a strawman about the will of fish. I sincerely hope that one day you will grow into realizing that you have free will.

I don't know anyone that would SPP a tubular lock in the field. $40 for tools designed to pick all pins at once and make a "key" with some quick impressioning motions. Some do have spool pins. In those cases you will need manual fiddling to pick it once then you have a key to keep spinning. Still, sounds like an interesting design. Link?
I was under the impression impressioning relied on all the lock's springs and driver pins being identical, and that better tubular locks avoided that? I looked for a picture of the case but couldn't find one. I was in that college CAD lab... quite a long time ago.
Tubular locks are trivial to pick and the lock turning the screw mentioned above would be just as simple with a tubular pick than with the original key.

‘You can't predict unless you have the will to perform a prediction.’
That is a general claim that you wrote that I have shown is not correct unless you have an interpretation of the word ‘will’ that is so broad as to render your other statements somewhat meaningless.
In fact you are the one creating the strawman since you dodged addressing the question. I have made no separate claims about my personal free will, or lack thereof.

Thanks for pretending to be the arbitar of truth, but you are the one who responded to my comment (made to another), "If you don't accept that you have free will, than nothing you write or say has any meaning."
It is now obvious you have no point other than wanting to debate words and are being intentionally obtuse. This is not a high school debate class, and I will no longer engage in your foolishness, since you have stated that you are not actually commenting on the subject of the conversation.

Sounds horrible and for me it is unimaginable. In Croatia, you rarely hear that a car waa broken into even in bigger cities. In smaller towns a lot of people don't even bother to lock their cars.
Why do you think that is?
I think it has more to do with culture than police effectiveness as we are not so popular as a country with good enforcement of law. Croatia is a small country and there is always someone that knows someone even if he is on the other side of the country. So even if somebody steals something from someone, there is a big chance that it is someone you know (he knows when you leave your house, when you get back etc.), so it would be a really big shame if you find out that someone you know stole something from you. Therefore, most thefts are done by Roma people because they are somewhat excluded/isolated from society.
