They don't lock themselves in the car.Â* The driver who is too dumb
to remove the key from the ignition locks the keys in the car.

My husband's Toyota works just like your friend's Corolla.Â* He has
never locked the keys in the car.

Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* Is it too soon to blame the locked cars on the people who can't
live five minutes without their phone?Â*Â* Can'tÂ* phones unlock cars yet?

Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* I got curious so did a quick search.Â*Â* It looks like a couple
people have had this
problem.

IMO, a good reason to NOT buy a Toyota unless it can be disabled.Â* I
prefer to decide when my car is locked or not.

The pro thief will get into your car in seconds, locked or not.Â* The
amateur will cause damage trying to get into it.Â* I rarely lock my car.
It was broken into twice and one time I lost a quart of oil laying in
the back seat.Â* The locked cars around me had broken windows, pry marks
and scratches.

Friend of mine had her car locked and alarmed.Â* It was parked right
outside her office window when it was stolen in broad daylight.

I always lock mine but make sure not to leave anything exposed to make
it attractive to a thief. Some women will get out of the car, put their
purse in the trunk and leave. Thieves were lurking, saw this and
smashed window, opened trunk and stole purse.

I walk in a park and one new years morning got back to the car, guy I
knew walked up to his car right next to mine and saw door lock smashed
in and case with his cell phone stolen.

Locked older cars are easy to steal. Wife lost her 10 year old Mazda 20
years ago while attending a ballet lesson in a mall parking lot with car
locked and directly under a street lamp. It was found 3 days later on
cinder blocks in a bad part of town. The only part not taken was the
old radio. Tires and spare were gone as was everything under the hood.

I think most newer cars will not work without the key as the keys have
chips and while thief may start car, it will not keep running so if
there is nothing to steal then not locking may be OK.
