Mine is so simple. I went months without knowing there was storage in the door armrest. I figured if I didn't know, maybe a thief won't either.

 

Ha ha I did as well! I found it when I put my hand on it accidentally and it moved! I thought it was loose, then I figured it out! I was hoping there were some expensive goodies in there, but nothing but dust!

 

Picked up the car in Cleveland Ohio, during the winter in light rain.
Stayed over night and the next morning, I decided to change the nearly 5 year old wipers.
Pulled the old one off, the metal spring loaded part slipped from my hand and put a nice little hole in the windshield. Before I could get it to a shop it had a crack spliting the windshield. Drove it back to San Diego as it grew longer with every mile.

 

I sold my hard top, thinking that I live in TX, I did not need it.
