While I’m at it, can we get car manufacturers to stop the fightening ‘beep’ when some cars are automatically locked and unlocked - ???

My new Ford Focus makes no beeps......I've only had it just over a week so I'm still trying to figure out how everything works. When I use the key fob to lock or unlock it, I have to listen carefully to hear the locks engage. Then I still have to pull the handle to make sure they are locked..........

I cant’ count how many stories I’ve read in my lifetime ...always the same — suburban woman stops at red light, is car jacked by blacks who drag her to some area, rape her or kill her, steal the car, etc.

How many YEARS AND YEARS have we been reading these stories??

And yet somehow WE are racist for wanting to protect ourselves from this?

Well bless the Ford Focus!
I also do those things you describe, to make sure the doors are locked. Altho I don’t often pull the door handle.
In addition to listening for the locking sound, the interior light goes off, so I also have a visual!

Full disclosure: my mate-thru-life NEVer uses the auto key fob - locks and unlocks the doors the old fashioned way! Makes me nuts!
