Huh?  Haven't ever seen how they open the door when you lock your keys
in it?  Takes 2 seconds and doesn't leave a mark on the car.  Only the
amateurs break windows.  I had a Volvo broken into and a ham radio taken
out of it in Anapollis, MD over 20 years ago.  The police would not even
come out to look at it as the same thieves had done the same to over 100
cars in lighted hotel parking lots overnight.  Not a mark on any of them.

Sounds like time to get a lawyer.  See above.  And the pros are even
better today.  On another note, I wonder how long before they figure
out how to use bluetooth to get the car computer to open the doors
for them?
