my bus had a locking engine door and i don't think most avg. thiefs would mess too long with a car that for some reason won't start.

it was way cheaper than an alarm.

the thing that kicked me about older vws is that if you hit the triangle window in the right spot repeatedly the window lock would shift until eventually the window would open from outside and then you can just reach in and open the door.

came in handy often.

i also heard from a cop friend that you can use a tennis ball with a slit to force air into the door cylinder on cars that use a number code to open the door. this was 15 years ago and maybe they've fixed the problem now.

i also heard that honda keys are useless and you can basically shave one down and use it to force start almost any honda.
