Sometimes I park my car with the top down. I then lock the car to secure the trunk. The issue is that if someone reaches inside and opens the handle from the inside all the locks unlock. Now this makes sense with the top up and you want to get out of a locked car but with the top down its kind of a pain in the ass. What do you guys do?

Use the deadbolt feature if u must park with the top down.
There's also alarms with radar sensors and two way alerts."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

i use a proximity sensor for my alarm...it will warn chirp if you walk by it, and go into panic mode if it see anything (hands, birds, cats) getting into the cabin area...
that, and btw, no-ones car is safe from breaking a window...or cutting the top.3 pedal club

It is called "double lock" and you turn the driver's side door lock right 90 degrees from the vertical to the horizontal position and pull the key out.The Definitive 1991 M-Technic Thread - a work in progress
