I would look around only to gauge if there are any losers around. Don't ever rely on the public to intervene if they suspect a car theft or burglary. Mayyyybe they'll call the PO PO if its like REALLY obvious and said suspicious guy isn't physically imposing. If the guy looks huge they won't even make eye contact. Short of an an ex-military type or retired cop (or people in states with conceal/open carry) who just so happen to be there at that exact momment of a burglary, most people will "mind their own business" and move on while your Porsche is being ripped off.

The clip is a good idea. It's about the levels of inconvenience that a loser must have to deal with. Just like your home's front door, there are shockingly high numbers of people who never lock up a thing. And then they yell and scream about how they've been terribly violated and how the world is more unsafe today than it was yesterday.
