Of course, that scenario is a little different than a car. Most thieves generally speaking won't try and steal the plane. Heck, most of them wouldn't even know how to get it started even if the key was left in the ignition, much less do any of the 50 other things it takes to get the plane moving much less off the ground... except that one ******* kid in Florida... but I digress.A car is a different story. Leave 5 bucks in the cup holder in the hopes that THAT is all they will take? I would think a thief would say "hey, if they're stupid enough to leave money out, I wonder what they tried to hide! Since I'm already in the car, lets see what else we can find..."Nope. Lock that sucker up. leave nothing of value out.</blockquote>
