If it is overnight, junking breaks in rummages around. Time passes, junkie comes back and approaches from other side,looking for cash for another quick fix, forgets he already broke into this one...repeat.

Is that better or worse?

We have all been through this before. I have been hit two time in a ten year period. Now I leave the car unlocked, and take the insurance papers with me, fishing.

A friend of mine which is an RCMP officer told me the same thing to do years ago. A locked car won't deter them if they really wanted to get in. It would save you the insurance deductible plus a lot of hassle in the long run

I don't buy into that theory one bit.
I have personally seen a  thief at the store parking lot walking around checking door handles. If it's locked he would move on. He never got to any unlocked doors before I back checked him into the car he was trying out.
In heaty areas or areas where cars are clustered I would lock the doors. Think like a thief when you park your car. Place the car in open areas or in line of sight with passing traffic. Try to get as much exposure to the road and passing public as possible.

Locks only keep good people out.

Yes, checking door handles is one method.  When there is a high probability of people hearing a car window break or they have release conditions not to possess tools, they check the door handles.  Even if police caught them...
1) Witnesses usually cannot pick out the thief in a photo lineup.  The distance between the thief and the witness is too far away or too much time has passed since the witness saw the thief. 
2) Checking door handles is not a chargeable offence.

Trust me, thieves are a lot smarter than what people give them credit for and they skilled in their craft.

Thieves yes.
Strung out crackers looking to empty your ash tray of change.. Not so much.

Saw another pile of glass at the other parking area at Teskey this AM. As I was there 2 chaps in dark clothes, hoodies, back packs and both on bikes came cruising by.

I stayed around for a bit making sure they did not come back to visit the cars parked there.
