I always lock my truck and turn on my valet mode. If I go to Tylers shop to work I may leave it unlocked but I'll still turn on my valet mode.

leaving it locked or unlocked will not make any difference.. If they want inside they will get inside with just a pop to the keyhole. There is nothing you can do.

or break a window. But locking it does deter the lazy thieves.

I'm gonna try the train horn alarm next. Someone set off my alarm earlier today in the parking deck here at UAH. I saw some pretty flat handprints on the passenger window. Alarms do deter thieves in places where there are a lot of pedestrians, but if no one is around, every vehicle is game...

a couple months ago i left my window down for a few hours too many and someone reached in and grabbed my 300$ ipod and some loose dollar bills and some change

im glad they were too dumb to take my gps

I've got the Viper 5701 alarm on my truck and it works very well. I actually caught someone trying to bust my window out because the key fob started making the alarm sound at work.
