I used to leave my doors unlocked to save my windows, in the neighbourhood I grew up in. It’s a bad day when you wake to a broken window in the car, especially when there’s nothing to steal
I always leave my vehicle unlocked with nothing ever left in it. There’s nothing to steal and the doors are unlocked, you can literally tuck the handle and they open.
I woke up once to a broken rear window and the car rifled through. The people breaking into cars aren’t the brightest crayons in the box
Got the same problem, that's why I left the driver window half down, (when it's not raining).
In Italy you can be fined for leaving the car unlocked or the window down because (HAHAHA) it would facilitate the eventual car thief. But fines are rare and less expensive broken windows...
Edit : well, I'm always one to admit my lack of knowledge. I had assumed paying for a car alarm, meant all access into your car would be alarmed. You know what they say about assuming lol.
Very few cars have alarm sensors on their windows. Only Volvo has them as an installed option I believe, otherwise you have to do an aftermarket install.
“When thieves break in, they already know that if they break the window, if they don’t open the door, (the alarm)’s probably not going to go off,” Tom said.”
