I have to agree with this statement. My new to me 95 Nissan Pathfinder is supposed to have an auto alarm and remote locks, but my remote doesn't work. Also if I want to lock my truck, I have to crawl in through the rear hatch to get in the only working lock. I haven't had the money to get it fixed and have yet to loose anything of value out of my unlocked truck. (not that my $30 drill or work uniform is worth stealing) I have had this truck one year and so far no break in. I have owned my Vanagon for 6 or so years and I rarely keep it locked... well, it locks now. ;) With the engine rebuild, we fixed the locks. Heck, all of the old VWs I have ever owned never really locked right... Maybe you could put a sticker on your Van that says toxic waste inside. Moblie Proctology exams and leave rubber gloves laying around. Just some thoughts. -Dawn --- VOLKSFIX <raceingcajun@COMMUNICOMM.COM> wrote: > Keep your goodies at home when your not camping, > put a hidden battery > disconnect switch on it and leave the doors > un-locked.
