Sort of off-topic, but the local news around here makes a big deal every few weeks about the latest rash of car robberies in one neighborhood or another. Somebody goes through and steals backpacks, purses, electronics, and even a pistol in the latest one. Almost as an afterthought, almost every time, they mention that the cars were unlocked.
Maybe I'm funny that way, but even when I drove a Duster with half the paint weathered off and melted speaker grilles on the rear deck I would lock the doors. Of course, it also had a manual choke and you had to know the "combination" to start it.
