My ruby locks itself.

I've read the only way to steal one of these is to drill a large hole into the battery through the driver's side gill plate, then wait for the acid to drain out killing the battery. I presume it would allow the thief to open the doors without a sound.

There's an aftermarket drill resistant steel plate that can be installed just inside the gill plate to prevent this technique from working...
