Locked doors can also add to the loss...

My daughter lives in Winnipeg, where it would seem anything left in the car is fair game. She was very upset the first time it happened, and I had to stress to her that it was nothing personal, they are just scumbag thieves. So she started locking her car, only to have them smash a side window to get in. Luckily, I had a spare parts car here for it, and replaced the window. After that, she wouldn't lock her car at all, but rather would bring in anything worth stealing. After that, she would come out some mornings to find the trunk open, along with some of the doors. She would just close them up, and go on her way, de-sensitized to the intrusion.
Your mileage may vary on whatever methods you use....my best method was to move out of the city and into the rural areas. Twenty two years now without any property crime.
