Apparently the way your car door handles are manufactured could make your car more vulnerable to theft.

Read this article, but especially watch the video.

I’m not sure how much of a tizzy we should get in over this because a thief can always break glass or do other things to get into the car. Nevertheless, it’s an interesting thing to note.

Regardless, my stance remain the same: just don’t leave anything visible in your car that provides temptation. Don’t leave money, valuables, CD’s, electronics, food, clothing, cigarettes, anything easily consumable or sellable in the car. Just leave the car and nothing else. If they really want the car itself, there’s little you can do to prevent that. As well, consider Jim Trudeau’s approach because if the car’s not locked at all, there’s just no chance of damage and expensive repairs no matter how the door handle/lock is constructed.
