Nowadays if you want to steal a car the criminals are going for push button start cars.Remember talking to a guy who had a Nissan 300ZX back then. He said he bought a loud alarm and de-mobiliser, never left anything in the car, and always left his doors unlocked.
He was worried more about some druggy breaking the windows or doors than anything else.
I used to have to park in the street at one time, and quiet court, but the doorlock was screwdrivered. They didn't even get in, just stuffed the lock. Who'd have thought you couldn't open a lock by just shoving something into it and turning it hard.
Having a manual car with a key start is a very thief proof car today.
