Well there could be method in their madness.
I once saw a posting out here from a female CX owner who obviously either had a good sense of humour or a mean streak in her.
It seems that she lived in a car theft prone area and was sick of the toerags breaking side windows to get into the car, so she left the drivers door unlocked deliberately and installed an alarm. CX doors are heavy & tend to drop shut quite easily (bruises on legs as proof) BUT, have you ever tried to find the door handle inside a series one CX?
So the scenario was; toerag checks drivers door finds open. Opens & gets into car; 30 seconds from when he stated the alarm triggers just after door falls shut. Toerag goes for the door handle but gets arm rest and panics, dives to other side, same result. Door opens and aforesaid ladys boyfriend, big, nasty, and with an attitude problem is there to haul intruder out by the scruff of the neck and "counsel" him.
Break ins stopped fairly wuickly after a few of these, so maybe it was planned this way; they are French after all.[8D][;)][;)][}:)]
