Do you lock your doors? - Page 3

My buddy had $5-$10 in change stolen out of his car the same night.

Wonder if it was the same guy?

Almost definitely, given how close you live.

When I lived in Leicester I only locked my car as an afterthought.
Truth is, if you wanted to, you could open it with anything to hand - house key, screwdriver, different car key. A kindly person or people left my lights on once. Yeah, ta. Had to be jump started to get to my second job.

Other times it was just the seat in a different position and the radio on a different station, or my CDs rearranged. No-one bothered to steal it.

When SonofV and I got in the car today, he opened the passenger door before I got to the driver's door and the alarm started honking the horn, loudly. Hm. I'd forgotten about that. I have decided to leave all the doors unlocked, except the driver's door, thereby arming the alarm which will go off should someone open any of the doors before the driver's door is unlocked with the key.

Now, I hope to frighten the burglar, or at least startle them enough so that they smack their head on the doorframe. I realize this means a barefoot trip from bed to the car at some 0-dark-thirty in the future. Not looking forward to that part, but I am willing to try this plan.

It's an easy rifle shot from the front door. Just sayin'.
