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. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow! Are we on STRIKE yet? at gmail.com |

It just doesn't feel right to leave the car unlocked there is a saying, something like: opportunity made the thief > AFAICT nobody steals car stereos anymore (at least here in the US), > and for various reasons nobody steals Miatas either. punk didn't steal the whole unit, just that "removable" front mask (control unit, dunno what's it called) |

Junkies and other professional thieves won't waste time on an empty car. There's not much you can do about vandals, alas, unless you have a silent alarm so you can catch them in the act and let them know personally how disappointed you are at their behavior. Perhaps with the help of a baseball bat. -- Lanny Chambers St. Louis, MO '94C |

I guess you'd have to tell the insurance company that it WAS locked in order
to collect anything, right?
