Car manufacturers have never put a lot of priority on security in the US. I once unlocked a car, got in, and started the ignition with my key before realizing that the reason the seat and mirrors felt weird was because it was not my car.
I shut it off, exited the vehicle, re-locked it, and saw that my own car was actually the next one down the row. There are only so many combinations of pin heights in a car lock.
I have been paranoid about not keeping valuables in my vehicle ever since. That door lock is only keeping someone out for a few minutes, at best.
- asdff 8y agoAmerican cars have always been notorious for this. You can unlock and start some American cars with a flathead screwdriver.
