Wifi is a bit of a power hog, so other than adding a second battery you'd need to get to the car regularly to start it and charge the battery for a bit.

This morning I went to get an official inspection and estimate from my insurance provider.
Do these charges seem too high or is this a pretty fair pricing? |

Is it acceptable to purchase my own parts? Is that a faux pas? I found all three parts for less expensive at toyotapartsoverstock.com. For example, 6905152440 (RT Cylinder & Key Set): - $63.70 from the insurance quote - $46.51 here: http://www.toyotapartsoverstock.com/...905152440.html Anyone have experience purchasing through here or any other Toyota parts website? |

Booby traps are illegal in California. To add, now, if a burglar is running away from your house, you cant shoot him, as he is no longer a threat. Lastly, Tooters idea of sitting in the car with a gun, would also fall under the booby trap law. The defense would state he normally wouldnt have been there, and put himself in "harm's way"

Thank you for adding all of the other correct information as well ...as, IMO, your additional correct info bolsters the overall tone that I was after.....Namely, that the laws and policies in California (unlike those in Texas) embolden the criminal, not the resident. IMO (and in the opinion of many in Texas) a burglar should be afraid he might get shot while trying to commit a burglary....a few might then make the decision not to commit the burglary. I know many people in California feel that 'we can't make things more lenient for the resident/property owner because a mistake might be made and an innocent person might be killed' (and I'm NOT saying that you are saying you feel that way). IMO, that is an emotional argument akin to Obama's push for gun control legislation because it would be worth doing if, at a minimum, it saves one child's life....playing on the imagery of Newtown....harping on that one side, rather than weighing that side with the other side -- for example -- women home alone with children being less able to defend themselves and their children from an intruder and not being able to change that circumstance by moving to another state. I think Texas has it right because we have the presence of a strong deterrent/deterrents (as Singapore does), but some of our deterrents can be exerted on an individual basis, not by the strong hand of government, as is the case in Singapore...and we don't have to give up some of the freedoms that the people of Singapore don't enjoy. I think California is moving slightly toward the other edge of the coin, and that end has been marked by what we've seen recently in England and in Sweden. |

Yep! I have plenty of guns but I've used pepper spray and a pipe, and really messed up some folks, on two occasions. The guns are for end of the world type activities.

You may want look into higher end model Toyotas with the same type of door handle, than you could get chrome and not need to paint.

Is the insufficient law enforcement presence in Oakland spilling over into Alameda even more than in the past? |

I am sorry to see you have had damage to your car. I never considered that anyone would ever attempt to break into a Yaris. The cost of repair is not that bad, but having to do it in the first place would simply make me angry.
