don't forget to leave your doors unlocked.
Don't forget to leave your iPod, wallet, cell phone, and lots of expensive stuff in it.

becareful still though. even though you have locks on them, leaving the key in the car can cause problems. most thieves know that you will keep them in the center console or the glovebox and they break in, find the key and still steal your wheels.

yeah, there's the catch.

no matter where you leave the key, be it the trunk, or your back pocket, they're still gonna break your glass if they really want your wheels.

but fixing a glass is still cheaper

^^whether they find the key or not, point is they will still break in to try and find it.
