I don't see the fascination with the inside hood release, or even some kind of locking hood pins.
Ok, so they opened the hood, so what? Without a handful of tools and a bunch of time they're not stealing much more than the air filter or cap and wires. And if you're parked out on the street for long periods of time the stuff under the hood isn't the expensive resale stuff anyway, more likely to lose your wheels.
People that steal classic cars specifically do it with tow trucks or trailers with winches and wheel dollies. People that steal newer cars aren't going to even know how to jump the starter solenoid (the only thing that getting the hood open buys you) because on anything with an ECU that doesn't work anyway. They're gonna get in and defeat the ignition, so opening the hood doesn't matter. And anyone with a stiff length of wire ("coat hanger") can open the door on one of these cars (or any hardtop really) in about 10 seconds.
