Yea the vent window is not locked, but i dont think many around here know how to gain access through a vent window, let alone drive it. Maybe 1 day, ill get a lock and key for it ohwell

Back when I was a much younger version of myself, my '65 lacked the knob on the driver's side wind-wing. So I had no choice but to lock the door by reaching in through the wind-wing. I eventually found a replacement knob. Years later I was driving down the highway and heard a clunk on the outside of the door. I had the window down and wind-wing open, and saw the knob had landed perfectly against the door and the mirror bracket. Dumb luck! I carefully reached out while maintaining my bearing and speed, and was able grab the knob and bring it inside the cab before it vibrated off its perch and was forever ruined by the pavement. That darned roll pin had slipped out and I didn't even notice until the knob came off.
