I got an idea... fence in Wal-Mart, Target, Home Depot, K-Mart, Kohl's,
Walgreens. Entrance is gained by key-cards, special codes, secret
handshakes, ancient amulets...

How many Wal-Marts have been stolen?

Seriously, though.... obviously many more cars will be stolen because (1)
they are far more accessible (in malls and on streets) and (2) there are
many more of them. So, statistically I cannot determine the rate of
plane thefts vs. car thefts. Per capita or per vehicle odds may shed some
light....

Also, many more people can drive than can fly, so there is a much larger
pool of potential thieves. Attempted theft of a plane by someone who has
no idea of how to taxi around the airport would kinda be a joke.... They'd
probably play with the yoke and wonder why the plane doesn't turn.

I don't think this is really important, though. Airplanes and airports
should have a much higher security threshold than cars. There are GA
airports where I could walk right up to the planes if I wanted to.
