Read the thread.

It has a backup.

I'm so glad I don;t have to worry about ---- like that. I have enough to worry about. I don't want to have to worry if my car is going to be there when I get out of the grocery store.

Sorry, it's hard to get the aim down when you're driving by at 50mph. I'll slow down next time.

I didnt read it, but theres nothing like a classic "throw a busted spark plug at a window trick" and bam, your in.

not any different than a house or anything else for that matter. That deadbolt would be a good idea, but I dont think it would prevent break-ins that much.

Maybe you should read the thread too. :P

It's obviously not going to prevent any and all thefts from happening. It's just to slow them down and try to prevent thefts. If there was a cure-all to thefts everybody would have it.

I would imagine it would be a pain to try to rip stuff out if you could not open the door.
