Lockable doors don't seem to be much of a theft deterrent. Having lived in
Boston for many years in the age of British sports cars, I saw plenty with
broken vent windows or slashed convertible tops that defeated locked doors.
Maybe putting a tracker in the car and an ignition cutoff might be more
effective
