unlocked in your secured garage. The reason i ask is because i always locked my car even inside my garage and today i went out to garage and found out my car battery was completely dead and i cound not get doors, hood to get a jump or trunk open. I had to brake into my own car. (Had christmas gifts locked in trunk)From now on i think i might keep car unlocked when winter keeps me from driving for long periods of time.

I keep it unlocked in the garage. I think it's safe enough in the garage. I don't know how hard it is to get into a garage but I think the new doors are pretty heavy to lift. How did your battery die?

I keep mine unlocked, but not for the reasons you mention.

If you're going to let your 'Vette sit for days (or weeks) on end, why not invest in a Battery Tender?

I always lock mine in the garage. You'd be surprised how easy it is to get through a garage door.

As to not being able to open the doors, you can use the key to get in, and there's the little wire thingies to open all the orifaces...

I keep mine locked inside also....

I keep mine locked, but the garage/shop is in the back of the house detached. It has access to the alley, but I also keep my keys in the house. How is is that you couldn't get into your own car. Can't you insert the key car's key and unlock the driver's door-lock manually, and there is also release calbes in the truck/hatch of the vette to open the fuel door and the trunk manually, and the hood release is also cable loaded.

That's funny!!!

I keep mine unlocked when it's in the garage.No point
in keeping it locked when there's 2 vehicles blocking
it in the driveway.Someone would have to be pretty
"sporty" to attempt Grand theft auto.

Unlocked - both cars.....I haven't quite reached that level of paranoia, but I'm working on it.

If your insurance knows this, they can deny your claim on negligence......

Locked in the garage for me. Makem work for it if they really want it. He!! i'm close to putting the little clutch club on it and a locking car cover. While in the garage.

Your car is keyless??

C5 Dawg

Uh, no they can't. Many claims are the result of negligence, such as at-fault accidents. If your policy has a negligence exclusion, you may want to consider switiching to a different company.

Jonota

An at fault accident can be denied as well if they find out you did it ON PURPOSE. And negligence with theft is MUCH different than an at-fault accident. Without digging through pages of coverage information I couldn't tell you whether I have a negligence clause, but I've heard of many that have it.

wow very smart

BitViper

Locked and the ignition disabler engaged!

DeeGee

I leave it unlocked but I live in the wilds of Lincolnshire. I'd be amazed if a thief could even find my village never mind steal the Vette.

SlideRulz

Unlocked, but I took off the rope to the quick release on the automatic door opener. I turn the prower off to the door at night.
