I regularly park my car unlocked. I dont keep anything in my car anymore. It is more of a pain in the ass to replace a window than anything they could steal out of the car. I am more worried about someone stealing parts and accy's or the whole car. For the whole car they would have to figure out the fuel shut off valve though.....  |
Plus, you hunt your stuff down and get it back once it's been stolen.  |
Someone stole my go-cart about two weeks ago from our front porch at 11:30 in the morning. I have about three freinds that are helping me scan CL and other places to recover it. |
I have no doubt that it will be back on your porch in no time.

So, if your glove box locks, can you put items in the trunk? I would think that they could not get in. I mean, people put stereos in them, without locks.
I grew up with not putting things in sight. We keep the interiors stereo typical, and it seems to have worked.
I would be afraid to keep the doors unlocked. Nothing valuable, but I would like to keep them out.
Some day I like to install the AM Sapphire and FM converter. Nothing fancy to steal, and nothing I would cry about (under $50).
Oh, the Steerlers did not win the Superbowl, they stole it. Should be the Stealers!

| I have a $10 old philips boom box in my '66 squareback for my tunes. If I am really worried about someone breaking in my car I lock it in the trunk. In my '68 squareback I have a stock saphire am/fm radio. If I have to go anywhere I do not feel my VW's are safe, I will take my F150 instead of the VW's. |

Dong, you're crazy ?? A laptop in a car ?? A car stereo belongs to a car, but the laptop ? Take it with you. I never went to your country, but I wouldn't leave my laptop in my car in any country...especially with a lot of work in it. I'm like you, I rarely make my recovery DVDs like the computer asks for...But I always have an eye on my laptop : everything's in there, it's too precious. Sorry for your loss, especially for the law book you were making...

Yeah, bubby! I was really a mistake leaving the laptop in the car while I was having a meeting! I just bought a new one and, mind you, whenever I leave the car, I would bring it with me.
And yes, I am now in the process of collatiing again the reaserch cases and materials for the law book I started. What is hard is starting it all over again!
Thanks
