Its much different now with smart keys and whatnot. Older cars like civics/integras/240sx were much easier to steal. When I had those cars, I got asked plenty of times by sketchy people... "what city are you from?" followed by,, "oh yeah? I live near there too!, what cross streets?" yeah right dude....

exactly this. I still do it out of habit... only takes a second to do anyway.
edit: a good case in point was when someone tried to steal my brother's 2000 stock Civic SI. luckily, a cop happened to be right across the street.
