Lock your doors

My newer cars automatically lock the doors when I start driving, my 986s do not. I never cared much for self locking doors, but some recent events changed my mind and I intend to keep my doors locked now.

It has become a popular technique to steal items from an unlocked car while the driver is refueling. It happens fast and often goes undetected.


Even worse, in the last week there were a few car-jackings and a hostage situation. I took the perpetrator of one of the car-jackings to the hospital. He had been in a police chase and wrecked his car. He jumped into another car (car-jacked) and drove off for a second chase. The second chase ended when he entered a ditch at high speed and rolled the car. ...at least he was wearing a seat belt.

Don't be an easy target. Keep your doors locked. Keep alert.
