Car has a few dings, which I like- it's not too precious, and the pressure is off to keep it perfect.

The car only came with one key and no remotes, so I've been learning about the ins and outs of the transponders, etc., and trying not to overpay at the dealer to get a working setup. Are these cars more or less unstealable with the key transponder and immobilizer? I wonder if there's any point in locking a convertible anyway, since you could break into it with a pocketknife if you really wanted to anyway...

Any car can be stolen with a tow truck or trailer
