That's the stuff which has gone through my mind. How are the scallies going to vandalise stuff? Who's going to be the first to try cutting through a charging cable just to see what happens? Imagine the yoofs running down the street after a Friday night unplugging all the cars. Superglue in the sockets. I'm sure someone will come up with a way to clone a car's signature to "steal" electricity and put it on your account. Think about the keyless entry scammers stealing Mercs and Audis with a laptop and some far eastern software. Think about the scumbags sawing catalysts off cars in a few seconds using cordless tools.
If something can be vandalised/stolen, it will be. The manufacturers must think like the lowlife to protect stuff, but even then some of them will be one step ahead ......
