First of all i thought about delocking the doors after i have my remote central locking fitted, the only thing being, if it failed, i would have to break into the car.
I also want to delock the boot, to prevent pikeys from stealing my install, i also want to build an install where it will be really hard for them to nick stuff.
Then i thought about the security film for the windows, to stop them smashing that to gain access.
Or how about also removing the door pins?

All of this would be on top of my toad ai606 alarm. Which would be the most worthwhile to protect my car/install?

At the end of the day if they want to get it then they will get in, all you can do is put them off and stop chances, proper crims will get in no matter what

Remove all interest from the inside of your car - if there's nothing to steal, hopefully they'll move on to another car.

You can remove all locks but like Adam's said, they can still easily bend the door or smash a window.

its very easy to break into cars, even new top of the range models, its the actual; driving away which is more difficult for criminals.

i was at uni in sheffield and car crime there is silly, essecially in student areas.

i removed my door pins, always left glove box open, removed the cd player and parcel shelf. got a cat 1 toad alarm with exterior protection, fitted a steering lock.. luckily nothing happened to my car.

now got delocked handles and removed boot lock.
