Isn't it great having that government car parked in the driveway to keep the hoodlums away. Unfortunately, it tends to be a magnet for crime, as this story explains.
A few years ago Ford provided a three position switch on the dashboard for the automatic trunk latch. You could set it to not activate at all, activate only with the ignition turned on, or activate the latch at any time. The newer models haven't provided this feature and all of the Impalas I have driven open up no matter what. Not smart when you have officers carrying high dollar equipment and lethal weapons. Cruisers have been targeted in the Charleston area before and will be again. Agencies might find it cheaper to invest in alarm systems for their vehicles.
