After a delightful Sunday afternoon cruise with the top down we parked the roadster in the parking lot at the shopping center. The top is still down. As we exited the car I locked it with the remote. Brenda asked what good I thought that was doing with the top down. I said that at least the doors and glove box are locked. She said, "But someone can just reach in and open the door from the inside."

My question to you roadster owners is this. Am I wasting my time locking the car with the top down? What would happen if someone reached in and opened the car door from the inside when the alarm is engaged?
I didn't even think to look at the alarm switch on the console to see that the alarm was engaged. Perhaps the roadster has a sensor that says, "You can't lock this car with the top down, you big dummy."

Brenda encouraged me to reach in and open the door with the alarm engaged to see what would happen. I told her I'd rather ask on the forum than stand in the middle of the parking lot (no other car within 50 yards) with the car pitching a hissy fit. I'm not completely sure how to terminate a hissy fit.
