All you need is a sticker in the window that says "There is nothing in this vehicle worth your life" or "This vehicle guarded by Smith & Wesson."

Terrible advice. As a gun owner I think those stickers are awful. The last thing I want to do is give some punk on the street the thought that I might be storing a firearm in my car that they could steal.

i locked my keys inmy truck so many times i dont even remember the number. some of the times were rememberable like that one time i snuck out to this chicks house and it was 12am and i locked my keys in so i had to call my parents for the back up key. ( HS era)

other times i lock my keys, i found the easiest way someone opened my door for me was by getting a hanger from the top of the door seal and popping the actual door lock open. I would think that someone with power windows it would be easier because all u would need to do and get the hanger low enough to hit the unlock button.

and i also had a few times where people tried unlocking my door by using a "slim jim" where they shove this flat metal stick down the window seal, but they never werked. even the AAA (triple A aka road side assistance company people) guy tried.

Yah, the oem alarm sucks. I would get an after market alarm. I had the same problem man. About two yrs ago, someone tried breaking into my truck and i guess they could get in or got startled, so they left my key slot all cut up and my door handle pulled out with damage on the door. I didnt know my ins. deductable was $500 and the damage came out to $650 to fix. So, I just purchased an aftermarket alarm. It sucks man. I hate ****** like that.

hate to busta a bubble with this idea, but luckily they dont sell a handle without the keyhole on the drivers side. Because when your battery craps out and your keyless entry doesnt work, the only way in will be to break a window.

if the battery dies and the keyless entry doesnt work and you have shaved handle, aa good installer would of ran secondary cables hidden somewhere, like behind the headlights, where u could pop the doors open by jumping the leads. either with 12 volts or a 7.2 volt battery. just touch the ends of the leads to the batter and the door would pop open

don't want it installed but I said I do. It blinks when I lock the doors.
I live in an apartment complex and one morning about 2 months later I found out my neighbors car along with 2 others were broken into and I was parked RIGHT next to his. Now it could be that they wanted something from his car but I tend to think that it was because of the light.

he didnt say a shaved handle, he wanted a handle similar to the passengers door, without a keyhole. Which they dont make to begin with so there really isnt an issue.
