Not least as a good downpour sets the alarm off.

If my car gets stolen my claim form will state the car was locked at the time.
An assesor will never get near these cars in a normal theft/accident they are just written off.

Then there's us agonising about the whys and wherefores of dispensing with the pointless and troublesome superlock, remapping an ECU to improve economy, painting our wheels a different colour etc.etc.
No doubt these profiteering wankers would charge motorcyclists higher premiums for not having an ashtray if they could.

Why should that disable being able to gain access via the use of the key?

"Reputable Insurer" that surely has to be the oxymoron of the year! 🤣Talking of car insurance I've just found out my daughter has been paying £2500 a year to insure her tiny 1.2 litre Fiat 500. Late 20s, 5 years no claims and they've been insisting on the indignity of a damnable black box too. WTF. Like a mug she had stayed with the same company and just assumed it was normal for the premiums to keep increasing and so had doubted she could afford to run anything a bit quicker.. Now we've had a conversation she's moved to a different insurer for around £ 500 plus the penny has dropped she's she can feasibly upgrade to a faster car whilst still saving money compared to her old premiums. I do wonder how the hell a reputable insurer can regard such blatant overcharging as remotely ethical.

My guess is that it’s so infrequently used & ill understood that as soon as some problem is reported by a frantic member the panic flag gets run up the mast. It was after a traumatic event a good number of years ago did I disable my S/L as a knee jerk reaction, determined for it not to catch me out.
I forget about it until the frantic comet flashes past.
Problems will be few & far between but create an unhinged flap amongst the flock when someone gets locked out; it’s the same effect when someone locks their keys in the boot or the bonnet pop doesn’t & you end up breaking a rear lamp or shredding skin off your arm in the desperate attempt to get the bonnet open. That bit happens when you tug the boot release with too much vim, in that moment of annoyance, having an urgent meeting coinciding with a puncture on the same morning.
This is, as you know all too well the law according to sod.
My guess is the antipodeans will have a more colourful turn of phrase & I’m certain our treasured resident Strine will help in that respect.

We really do need a supplier of reconditioned RHD driver's side locks!
That brown and pink wire is getting snipped at the first opportunity!
