Better hope you don't get seen with that though mate, if it's anything like the stuff the Police use, it carries a 5 year sentence
I drive with my doors locked, that's all I have. Unless I hit them with the service book, or spray them with my de-icer
It looks like a pen, i'll show you sunday
My doors automatically lock over 5mph too :>

Depending on where I am, and who's about, I lock the doors when I'm drivig (central locking is great). To be honest, if I were surrounded by a gang, I can guarantee you I'd have a good shot at running at least one of the buggers over.
The mag's there as a backup.

Cool.
My doors usually get locked as soon as I get in the car, you never know these days.
I think I'd try and run them over as well, it's worth wrecking my bumper to keep my car

yeah its a bit extreme but if it makes you feel safe the why not i suppose... (just remember windows aren't hard to break etc.. if they really want to catch you)

my clifford concept 650 has a anti-theft/anti-snatch sys 'black jax' they can have your keys, gives em quarter of a mile to drive without the code then it goes into lock down
still quite a distance in all directions tho

i lock my doors occaisionally, but only if i feel like it's not safe...if you were a car jacker wouldn't you check a cars locking pins are up before you try and stop a car? so doesn't really hurt even just as a deterant.
