I've always thought that locking the doors on a convertable is A Bad
Idea(tm).

Anybody with a pocket-knife (or even a pointy stick) can get into a
convertible if they want to. Locking the doors is just forcing them
to do so in a manner that's going to cost the car's owner $600-$800.

My practice is: don't leave anything worth stealing in the car and
never lock the doors. That said, sometimes roofs get slashed anyway
(mine did once -- the doors weren't locked and there was nothing
stolen).

The one time somebody did want to steal from my car, they got a got
their handfull of change and a few CDs, but the top was unharmed.

AFAICT nobody steals car stereos anymore (at least here in the US),
and for various reasons nobody steals Miatas either.
