Use the sign, then leave a couple of 49er tickets in the front seat to prove your point.

A Miami friend with an Alfa-Romeo convertible never locked it. A thief took a knife to the top and stole his radio anyway.

I have a better device, a crappy looking car. Last year i went to the door at WalMart and started to go out when I noticed two young gentlemen going from car to car, trying door handles and peering into windows.They came to my car and I prepared to run out there but they walked around my car and tried the door handles and peered in the windows of the Lexus in the next space. I had been considering doing the indicated body work and painting the old Accord but decided I liked the peeling paint it had.

Right about 1990, where I worked daily, in San Francisco downtown & financial, I started to see cars with the "No Radio, Not Locked" signs, especially convertibles. The owners would even leave the glove box door open.
Car burglary had become an epidemic then and never got better.

Remember the ‘baby on board’ fad? Jay Leno did a bit about finding unattended vehicles with their windows rolled up and a ‘baby on board’ sign. They busted the windows to ‘get that baby out of there.’

I remember reading about New Yorkers who’d put the garbage into a bag and sit it out on the sidewalk. It would inevitably be ‘stolen.’

YEARS ago, a woman wrote Ann Landers about a car break-in incident. The woman had to take a urine sample to the doc, couldn’t find a jar, so used an old whiskey bottle.
She stopped off along the way, someone broke in - and stole the bottle. The woman said she wished she could have been there when the first swig was taken.
Mebbe, mebbe not. At the time, I thought it was BS, as samples are usually taken at the doc’s office so they know the originator, let alone considering the contaminants in the bottle’s residue.
Still, it was a good Karma story.
