I don't know that I would rely on the door locks of ANY car to protect $20,000 worth of camera gear; particularly VW squeeze-triggered door handle locks from 1976-1990, which are notoriously easy to break into.

By the way, where do you usually park when you have all this gear with you? :)

Are you saying that I can look through the windshield of any vvanagon, write down the serial #, and go get a key made? Make me feel real secure about twenty thousand odd dollars worth of camera gear I take with me on occasion!
