what happens when your battery dies. That means you can't open the doors, right?

yes, but you usually get a backup release isntalled somewhere under the car.

Yes, they crawl in the window, and if they forget and leave the window up or if the battery dies, they're screwed.

About the "backup release" well that would pop open the door if the battery should die. But what if the doors were locked??? U would ovbiously have power door locks and u need power to unlock the doors. So then in a situation like that u would need to slim jim the doors, right? But what about those cops in NY that died from slim jiming people's cars that have side impact air bags. They would try to slim jim the doors and hit the impact sensor and deploy the side impact air bag, causing the slim jim to shoot through their skulls. But in a situation like this I don't know if there is enough power in a dead batter to cause the air bags to deploy. But I wouldn't take that chance.

So what would be a plan B

isnt it kind of dangerous to have a backup release under the car when you have shaved door handles? a thief/scoundrel/etc, would see a car w/ shaved door handles and assume there is a backup release under the car, and have easy access to the car, no?

The theif would still have to unlock the door in order for them to use the backup button to pop the door. The door only pops open when it is unlocked.
