well the C.B'ers get robbed too actually--at least around here. You might
say they rob each other but most the time it's thieves looking for stereos.

I'd say it's by far and large the CB'ers more than anything else but
luckily, I live in an area that's almost impossible to find the first time
where everything's alarmed so at least at my house, there isn't much worry
about that and the mobile in the car, being where it is, you can't see it.
The antenna looks like a cell antenna so they can see that, but no one
steals built in cell phones anymore.
