A friend of mine had his truck window broken- twice in two separate break-ins. He eventually stopped locking the door because getting the window replaced was so expensive. He never had anything of value in his truck, but the thieves didn't know that until after they broke the window. One time he had like 30 cents in a closed ashtray. They took it.
I had a Toyota that somebody opened the locked driver door with a slim jim. They broke something inside the door when they did it because the door would never unlock from the outside with the key after they damaged it. It wasn't worth the $ of getting it fixed so my option was to get into the car from the passenger side or just stop locking the door. I went with the latter. Nothing was stolen because I didn't have anything worth taking. I lock my door now though, at least until they break it.
