I would say that it would be easy to steal! But I think the cops could probably pick it out of traffic fairly easily. I don't think a different paint job and some new plates is gonna disguise this baby. I wouldn't drive that thing on the interstate...it would be about as safe as jogging down the right lane wearing a football helmet and knee pads.
I'm a big guy and when I was looking for a car, I climbed into one not much larger than this. My friend said, "You're not so much driving that car as WEARING it."
It wasn't unknown for our high school English teachers' VW Bug to be picked up and moved around campus by the football team. This wasn't malicious but rather an act of affection for her and her sense of humor. After a good natured scolding, we would return the VW to its assigned parking spot. No detention or expulsion, rather it was understood to be bored kids in a small town.
I recall a wonderful British comedy film: "I'm All Right Jack" (1959) with Peter Sellers (pre-Lolita, -Dr. Strangelove, -Pink Panther, etc.--maybe Goon Show era) featuring a great make-out scene attempted in such a vehicle. It was the Smart Car of the last half of that sorry century.
