Why people lazy too use extra locks?

[g4i8y0t]

Based on my survey on relatives and friends, most of them are lazy to use extra locks (steering, gear, pedal lock) when parking their cars outside. Most of the reportedly stolen cars in this forum also didn't use extra locks. Is it that hard to do?

I use steering lock, gear lock and pedal lock, all three of them whenever I park at Tesco or Giant. If I just park for 1-5min I use at least one of the locks.

These locks won't make your car impossible to steal but at least it will make the thief's work difficult, takes more time to steal or make them lose interest at all.

More obvious the better, because it will make the thief lose interest and go find other car to steal.

Exactly! Cuz it's not as much as making the car fool proof from theft but making it more difficult/more risky and hence a lot less appealing to the thieves COMPARED to other cars around! Thieves will always look for cars which are the easiest for them to steal, so of course if they see one that has a good alarm, immobilizer, and additional lock next to another one which has none of those but just std crappy alarm, of course the choice for them is to steal the one without any additional protections. It's all about a game of risk.

For those who said they're too lazy to use additional protection, I'd say is just like screwing around freely with anyone without protection! I do hope though that they'll still be lucky enough not to regret it! But I think it's not as much because they're lazy to use it, but more like they do not want to spend the extra money for it, and/or already pessimistic/do not trust those additional locks, and/or do not know how to select a relatively good one.

all tidak apa attitude...when car got stolen then complaint here & there...that time its too late edi
i will put steering lock even though i just pop into a restaurant to get a quick bite...we never know wat will happen.

lazy is one thing...btw, it also depends on the thief determination to get the car too...some even resort to steal inside the owner house compound and even disengaged the auto gate installed... most thief do it because of got high demand..if the car model is on high demand in their wanted list...you will probably be on their radar ady...just waiting for the right moment...most car stolen is in stock condition...highly modded car less attractive to get stolen...usually they will just break into the car and steal the gadgets installed inside the car...
