It just cracks me up how I even see brand new vehicles here in the little bitty town I live in at the local Walmart who leave their windows rolled all the way down when they go inside the store...lol.
If I'm at the local gas-n-go, grocery store or fast food joint in my rural hamlet (pop. ~5000) I *might* leave the windows down in the summer... so long as the weather is nice and I'm not going to be in for more than 10mins. Really though I hate the thought of blazing sun baking my interior, so the tinted windows go up and the sunshades go in the windshield most every time I park, summer or winter. If I go into town to a big store the windows are definitely going to be up. I'm not looking to frustrate would-be thieves by locking the doors but I'm also not extending them an open invitation by leaving the windows down.
I guess it all comes from having cars broken into in the past where thieves did a considerable amount of damage but didn't get out with anything of value, because nothing valuable is in there. If you want to rummage around inside my truck please, open the door and do so... don't break the window or jimmy the lock.
