I NEVER leave ANYTHING of any value in sight in my vehicles. In fact, don't ever even bother to lock the Rover.

Learned the vandalism is worse than the actual theft years ago. Cost me $75 to replace a drivers glass so someone could get at the $1.38 in the center console tray. Now change goes in ashtray, and ashtray gets closed.

If they really want to steal your car, no amount of door locks or alarms are going to stop them. Know a guy that his car alarm went off randomly at night for a couple of weeks. Then one morning his car was gone. Also heard of a Porsche that was stolen from a garage. It had two cars behind it in the way, and no clutch. Nobody heard anything, no alarms went off, it was just gone. They even put the two cars back in place.

I only leave my V1 on windshield if it is hard wired and no dangly power cord to draw attention.

Drove a boxsterS with top down, and left top down more often than not while parked for 4 years without one bird hit. However, have been bird bombed on the top of the head once crossing the street.
