Conspicuous Consumption
Have you ever been photographed sat on a balcony eating a croissant; or wallowed in luxury just for the sake of it? What's the most ostentatious thing you ever seen or done?

I think people generally leave nice cars alone.
If you parked a top-of-the-range BMW, Mercedes, Audi or other expensive "normal" car there you'd probably get back to find a brick through the window and all four tires slashed -- but people seem to leave the more exclusive marques alone, for some reason.
I know a bloke who owns an Aston (DB7 I think) and he's parked in some pretty dodgy areas of Leeds, including post codes in the top of the car crime league, and the only thing people have done is say "Nice car, mate.".
