MW,
I feel sorry for you about being in Detroit, Newark, etc. We all choose where we will live. I wouldn't ever choose a big city, partially for the reasons you allude to. Other folks want NYC or some other awful place as they love things about it, for instance maybe they play clarinet and want to be near lots of gigs. I live out in the sticks, when I bought my house in the middle of town the seller couldn't give me a set of keys, he had lost them all ten years before and never bothered with them. If you do choose to live where you have to lock everything, then get a car which only locks from the outside, or do like I do and get one which the jerks can't steal, and which has parts worthless to anyone else!
As for the car being gone in 30 minutes, yes it is possible with most old junkers, but mine is almost immune from that. Get one as old as I pictured and the bad guys won't have the slightest idea how to start the car. If they can start it they cannot figure out how to drive it! Back when it was new 50% of the cars in the world were this type of car and almost everyone knew how to drive them. Now most people don't even know anyone who can drive a model T. (Hint, you work the transmission with your feet while you do the throttle and spark advance with your hands.)

If you want to see the car you should be driving to gigs click on this photo.
