Locking your doors just means you get your window broken as an added bonus. Imo leaving the car locked or unlocked doesn't really change much but removing valuables does. If the local crackhead looks through your car finds nothing and moves on there isnt any damage except the uncomfortable feeling that someone when through your shit looking for valuables.

Breaking windows make a lot of noise in a dense urban neighborhood. I don't know anyone who's had their windows broken. I do know one guy who had their rag top cut open. Leaving your door unlocked means that you have a dead battery in the morning. For some reason, I'm guessing that it's in to make less noise, everyone's door is left open after they get car shopped.

It might be a cultural difference from city to city. The side of the roads among the houses in our college neighborhoods are rife with broken glass.
