A lock on stuff like that mean you will be out what ever was stolen and repair the damage from the compartment being ripped open. Keeps honest people out at best.
I leave mine unlocked hoping someone will steal all the stuff my wife keeps putting in there, straws, napkins, etc.

Locking it should slow them down enough for everyone to ignore the alarm.

Seriously, has anyone ever heard a car alarm and thought they needed to go intervene?

While you are all at it, did you know your key can lock the back seat in the up position. To protect contents in the back??

No offense, but did you read any of these replies? The back seat lock has been mentioned several times in this thread.

For those who don't read the manual and didn't have a good salesman, FYI the steering wheel can not only be moved up/down when the column adjustment lever is released, but moved fore/aft as well. ;)

Kinda hard with no ignition switch on the Gladiator.

My HS auto shop teacher used to say the owner’s manual was the least read book in America.
Unfortunately, there are also isn't shop class.
