What planet do you live on? :confused: Just kidding. I guess you live somewhere without dirtbags.

Exactly. The last thing I wanna do is live in a place where you have to lock your car, house, close your windows to feel safe. Doesn't matter how close or convenient it might be to your workplace. I live within an hour of NYC. We don't even have police department just a resident trooper taking naps from now and then in hidden spots. Cars homes not locked. Why? We have no mass transport here which in a way attributes to presense of "dirtbags" in your hood.

When you grow up in the big city, you can leave it, but it never leaves you. I don't care where I am. Granted, some areas have higher potential than others but there is the potential for a dirtbag anywhere

I said it before: G-lock beats Autolock ever time.

Good option if you live in a place like Newark,NJ. In Newark, people just walk up to your door at a stoplight and point a gun at your head and tell you to get out of the car. Then, they drive away...

Dude,

Newark, NJ is where I landed for 1.5 years whan I came from Russia. I loved it. I still sometimes drive though it with only good memories. If someone comes to your car with a gun or just simple determination of depriving you of posession of that car GET OUT! I would even give suggestions on how jumpy the car is in sports mode so that they would not kill themselves. A locked door is not gonna save you from a bullet. It will only make it harder to get out of the cat since you have to pull twice on the latch to open it.

Be real. A locked door, window, storm door, even alarm is not going to stop a determined criminal or criminal-to-be.

i think thats exaggerating.. i've driven through newark (even at night) in the 540, numerous times and while it can seem scary, i've never had an issue. newark is a high crime neighborhood alright but its probably not worse wash dc or some parts of la.

It isn't worse then any part of Baltimore.

agree.. your car isnt worth your life.. sometimes a locked door will deter casual theives but not anyone desperate and determined as to carjack you in the middle of the street with a firearm.

Then there is te "security" option offered by BMW (slight armored cars).... very common option as I understand.
