By the way, the whole idea behind locks isn't to make something more difficult to take, it's to make stealing said items less convenient compared to and take more time than any other options the thieves may have.
An unlocked car is more apt to get stolen than one which is not. Your neighbor's bike will most likely be stolen before yours, which is locked up. A burglar will climb through the window of the home which leaves its windows open on a regular basis before he'll break through the one who keeps his shut. A thief will steal from the person who constantly leaves his property a mess before he will from the person who is puts everything neatly away; it's more likely to go unnoticed by both the owner and any neighbors.
Criminals love complacency and convenience.
