Do you lock your doors if you drive through a sketchy neighborhood?

one of the good things about kansas, i don't really have to worry about that. but i never have to drive through sketchy neighborhoods to begin with. everyone around here know where they are, so just stay out of crackland and you are usually doing fine.

Nope. Windows down, music up. No one is gonna roll up on me.......i'm in a Hyundai for christ sake, lol!
Doesnt matter if you're rollin in a Pinto. You have aftermarket rims and an aftermarket stereo! Pull up in the wrong neighborhood, and you could see your car getting jacked just for whats either on or in it.

I drive through the wrong neighborhood at least twice a week in my travels, lol. It's close to where I live, and it just doesn't scare me. The Lampoons clip is priceless though, lol!

I've seen someone car broken into for a damn cup of pennies and didn't steal a XM unit that was in there... In this day and age you're at your own risk if you don't lock your car up.

^While you're in it?! If someone wants a cup of my pennies while i'm in the car, they have me and the wrong end of my hand gun to get through first!

My car automatically locks itself. Why would you leave a jar of pennies in plain sight in your car? Of course someone will steal it. I won't even leave a penny in the seat or on the floor. I think it's extremely unsafe to drive with doors unlocked even if you are in the best of neighborhoods. You never know when someone might want to jump in or car jack you.
