Apparently people would come across the border to steal cars, and once they got back over the line the car would be gone forever.
I don't think I'd ever want to live within 50 miles of the border, other than maybe - MAYBE - San Diego.

Wow, yeah that would be a deterent for sure. I was only there a couple times and both times it was great. Had no problems crossing the border in either direction. The weather was awesome, just everything. That golf course is way under rated.
Played at several courses around San Diego, they were great as well.
But yeah, you are right there at the border and that could be a real issue.
**edit** Your stolen car newspaper comment reminds me of when we were stationed in Rhode Island. They had no titles to cars and the stolen car reports were a regular on the radio.
