Yes, since my last break-in in 2005, I have been double-clicking and dead-locking the key fob out of habit every time I lock the car for years now.
So it was good to know that the pickey who stole my headunit at least had to crawl both in and out through the back window to get it. That's why my front windows remained intact.
The sad thing is, that I can break into my own car in under 60 seconds via the back window - but at least that's without breaking the glass in the process!
Still, the replacement rear quarter light window only cost £10 from a local scrappie. The HU was worth around £80 on the second-hand market. I still haven't replaced it yet...
Nonetheless, thieves are so inconsiderate these days...
