Re: Spider locks?

[Godfrey DiGiorgi <ramarren@domain.elided>]

Locking the doors is a good deterrent to a lot of kids who might enter a 
car parked for the day in a public lot. The kind of kids I'm thinking 
about are not necessarily entering the car because they want to steal 
something but because they are curious ... if a door is open, they will 
hop in because the car is cool. 

I usually don't lock my car either, I usually leave the top down and 
stick anything valuable into the trunk and lock that. But if I'm going to 
be away from it for a while and I'm leaving it in a public lot, or if I'm 
going to be leaving it for a while in my parking garage while I'm 
traveling, I do lock it. After all, a torn or slit top is covered by my 
comprehensive insurance. It's a pain but not a big financial burden, and 
locking the doors does keep a lot of would-be thieves moving to the next, 
easier target.
