Default Re: Break-ins due to window/lock exploit

I just find it strange that all the cars that were broken into were Hondas,
and the exact same way, on all there occasions.

I love my Civic, and would only trade-up for another Honda, however at this
point I am second guessing my decision on new car purchases. (it just kills
me when I walk to my car and all of my belongings on the wet ground beside
my car, or a police officer coming to my door to inform me of the wonderful
news.)
