you think, that people don't steal things, just because they are in full
view

I assure you it happens frequently (relative to the number of thefts, that
is)

We aren't talking about things that will include phones,laptops,
handbags , clothes and all sort of small quickly removed items,
This discussion is about cars which cannot be removed by a toe rag
rushing past a cafe table and lifting a small item as they do so and
disappearing out of sight amongst a crowd , down the tube or away on a
skateboard.

You can keep up scenarios to justify your paranoia as long as you
like, it's so quiet here that only about a dozen people walk by a day
and most of them are people I know walking dogs with anybody else
standing out. Nottingham Knockers get seen off before they even get to
the door.

Now if I wish to I can after lowering the Windows relock the doors .
The only difference between that and leaving the car locked with
windows up as a car is normally parked is the thickness of a glass
window, in both situations the would be thief still has to get past
immobliser and start the car to take it away wether they gain access
by a window I have opened or one they have smashed.
The tiny chance that they have the means to do while I am a few yards
and if I were to see them approaching and entering about 15secs away
is a risk I am happy to live with , it is far less than leaving it
completely unattended for hours on end in a car park where if a thief
was so desired they could just smash the window and then get working
on starting it .

Life's too short to worry about the bogeyman getting you all the time
although I suppose some people have to live in areas where they need
to worry, others just worry because they have an ism , OCD or
something.
