Locking or not locking a vehicle has little effect on a real thief gaining access.
Living in Wyoming has advantages beyond the good hunting. Locks just help discourage the curious. Might help with someone who’s “on the fence”.

Some kind of personal protest? Locking it just takes the push of a button. We’re rural and pretty safe but why lead someone into temptation? Pretty good point. Locking won't stop a real thief but will stop a kid being dumb.

Sometimes unavoidable but..........If it gets stolen, used in a crime, the lawsuits could ruin you.

Yep.
Both of ours.
Probably $100+ in change and small bills in mine too.
Sitting in the driveway. Unlocked.
If it gets gone, I'll replace it.
My Dad has lived his life worried someone might steal something from him.
He locks his car (absolutely nothing in it) in my driveway. If we want to put
something in it for him we have to unlock it.
He immediately re-locks it.
Sad. Pisses me off.
For years my truck sat there with the keys and a gun.
Wife does lock hers if she has store deposits in it.
I do not like her bringing that home. It's significant, cash,and not ours. Some kind of personal protest? Locking it just takes the push of a button. We’re rural and pretty safe but why lead someone into temptation? I guess. PITA though. Passenger door doesn't lock automatically. Could fix it. If I locked it often. Only do if I have a long gun or Dillon(The Boxer) in there. Money, guns, are replaceable. Dillon isn't.

Yea, I commented earlier that I wouldn’t care too much about the contents but would be devastated to lose a dog. I am very careful, almost to the point of paranoia, about security while traveling on a hunt. Losing some of that stuff could ruin the trip, and THAT would be serious!

Anyone who discloses personal information on this (or any other) forum is a fool. I disagree. How is Rick Bin gonna know when to put the little birthday cake next to my name unless he knows who I am?
I love cake!! How many hours of day do you spend dreaming of me? On average?? Zero. But when I log on here and read about people doing stupid schit, I think of you often. I think it's a word association thing.

I keep a cheap but very reliable pistol in my truck 24-7. Even when I have on my carry, it's still there. I'm not worried about someone stealing it. It cost a couple of hundred bucks. I do have a safe in my console. It would take a pretty prepared thief to get in it but I can open it in two seconds.
A 380 in my pocket is better than a 45 in my truck!

"Anyone who discloses personal information on this (or any other) forum is a fool."
Almost as dumb as those who respond to "how much do you earn".
Simple ISP trace followed by home invasion. Yeah, I see your point. I mean, it's not like a criminal can find the homes of wealthy people near their own locations just by looking at the homes themselves. Yeah, lol And I try not to leave any guns in a vehicle. More worried about tools than anything.

I leave guns in my truck all the time. I guess maybe because we basically have a non-existent crime rate around here. I do cover them up with my Carharts, when I go into town.
This time of year, my tang safety 22-250 is in my truck.
Always.

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Living in Wyoming has advantages beyond the good hunting. Spend any time in a city and you'll soon see a subject(s) trying the doors on vehicles. Doesn't take long at all until they find an unlocked one. In Washington State, a citizen is not allowed to take a firearm (even licensed) into a bar or tavern unless it has a restaurant portion. Plenty of iron out in the parking lot.
Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.
Pronoun: Yes, SIR !

Anyone remember the case Trump talked about? The one where Kate Steinle was killed by an illegal in San Francisco? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Kate_SteinleThe suspect was found not guilty. The pistol was stolen from a locked car and and was the gun issued to a Department of Interior Bureau of Land Management Agent. He could not bring it into some building on San Francisco and thus locked it in the car from where it was stolen. Several days later it allegedly went off by itself when the illegal in possession of it (he said he found it under a park bench) was "twirling" the pistol on his index finger when if fell and went off several times, striking Kate Steinle at least once and thus killing her. So the State of California passed a law the next year making it a misdemeanor (and firing offense for anyone in law enforcement) to having a gun stolen from them by leaving the gun in locked vehicle unless it was in a locked case secured to a part of the vehicle. So now it is a crime to be a victim. But tell that to Kate Steinle's father. So I would not leave a firearm in a vehicle. There is a little more to that story than that hero. And if fuggers were hung for stealing then it is a non issue... or at worst a quick resoloution. Or even maybe the same for allowing illegal aliens in the country. What an idea upholding laws that were not tainted by bullsheet attorneys not sticking up for the death of sovereign rights as a US citizen. Man what a difference that would make.
