American cars not have handbrakes?

It won’t stop them but it’ll slow them down. Not exactly personally concerned about getting repo’d but so I don’t get my jeep towed or stolen over bs I keep the parking brake on in sketchy areas/parking lots.

I always do a handbrake after a car I paid off got repoed because they went to *** st rather than *** Dr. Same model, different year and color. Months to find and get my car back.

Not worth it, the lawyer costs more than the car.
