- How about the rest of us that own older Vdubs? Granted, an old Vdub beetle
- like mine is not high on a thief's priority list, but still...
- What is the most likely way a thief will try to break into a beetle? What
- can I do to stop it? (I can break into mine in about 30 seconds, but that's
- becuase I know something particular about my car that most thiefs won't)
- There is also something else I've been meaning to ask. How does
- a beetle hold up in an accident? I've never been in one in my beetle
- (knock on wood) so I still don't know.
- Thanks in advance.
