I replaced my lock with a keyless cover so it looks like the other door handles. It prevents break ins from the drivers side door. The problem is you cannot open the door with a key now and can only unlock with the key fob.

I added external jumper terminals underneath the rear of the car and ran extension cables from the battery. I did not want to get locked out because of a dead battery.
