- Ya know...a while ago I might have thought it was overkill too, but
- locking the doors is a good idea for people who live in urban areas
- where crime is a problem...in a far suburb of dc/baltimore-20 miles
- from each--a woman was pulled outta her bimmer and they stole it...they
- tossed her kid out of the car in the childseat, and because the woman
- either was dragged or hung onto the car she suffered fatal trauma
- at some point. Everyone in the area is horrified by this...and problems
- like this also happen in detroit, chicago, and la....might not be
- such a bad thing wes...
