That was a good one....

Most Germans do own a car. Germans are obsessed with cars. Remember the "no speed limit" thing here? It's there for a reason.
Remember that with BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, VW (and Opel, but they're a part of GM these days) a great deal of large car companies reside in Germany.
Germans and cars is a story of pure love, ever since the beginning :P

Our public transportation is good. But that doesn't mean we don't have, use, or love cars...

Though that may explain why car thefts are so low. Eveng erman criminals love cars so much they wont steal them from their rightful owners

Yup, besides, methinks you forgot this:
Lord Zentei wrote:As an aside, the only way Germany can reach US levels on this chart is if the number of cars there is about 197 or less, for comparison, Latvia has 214 and the United Arab Emirates has 193. I.e. Germany is still anomalously low, though it does of course not follow that this is because of the law under discussion.
I'm still not quite convinced that Germany's low car theft rates are due to that negligence law, although it does make sense. Are there any other countries in Europe where similar laws are in force? If so, we can check to see whether the car theft rate per car population is low there as well.

You can tell your professor that he is wrong :)
I wouldn't mind if he were right, because that would mean empty roads for me... :D
