Actually, maybe it's better that it wasn't locked.  When I was in San
Francisco a couple of years ago, they broke the vent window (it was
locked) and then smashed the main passenger window (it couldn't be rolled
down as I have power windows)and did some body damage in the process..
Then almost everything was stolen ($3000 replacement value).

I lived in the van for over 3 months after that in SF without incident and
enjoyed the city very much.  And, since everything was stolen, I had more
room.  I don't know what the moral of the story is here, but there's got
to be one somewhere.....
