Leaving doors unlocked doesn't always mean the glass is safe. I had the drivers side window smashed and just a sun stolen, but all the doors on the car I had at the time were unlocked :/ Some people won't take the time to check, they assume it well be locked. The window cost me more to replace than the sub.

Well As far as I know, I have never had my car broken into or anything stolen, but because I leave the car how I do, there could have been soup kitchens and all other sorts of chaos going on inside my car that I will never know about. |

And don't worry about the control for the passenger side not working. Mine is doing the exact same thing. |

And alright, I thought maybe I had water damage and that's why my controls weren't working. Hopefully all will be well for both of us when they finally get fixed. |

I had my car egged at a friends house and had to have the car repainted, eggs can seriously crack your paint. 1000.00 deductible and I had not even made my first payment.
Now I'm waiting for Scion to call me so I can take it into the shop because the Idle prob is ridiculous. CEL is on as well as the trac light and the cruise control light. Starting to wonder if this engine is a POS. Less than 3000 mi on it. |

I also had the CEL problem in the first week of owning my car as well. First week it was at the dealership for 3 days because of that, and now I have to wait till the end of the month/if not longer for a new window. |

My brother's Integra was broken into years ago and the only thing that was missing was a pack of gum....... There's really nothing a thief won't steal even if your car is stripped to the bone, even then the thieves will still take the bones.

welp, came back to find marks on my front fender indicating it had been kicked today. Kid's that were skateboarding back and forth right in front of it vehemently denied it.
so with no other evidence, I simply had to let it be. Think I'll be investing in one of those cameras now.

If only cops would spend more time watching parking lots instead of sitting on the side of the road with radar detectors... We even saw a guy breaking into some cars at the mall parking lot and my dad called in and gave them all the information but the retarded lady relayed the information incorrectly so he got away.
Anyway, I never leave anything valuable in my car or in sight. But yes, a glove compartment lock like my current Eclipse has, would give me more peace of mind if I did need to leave something.
