Hmm. They'd have to get past the belly pan to get to the valve, and we know
how much fun *those* are to remove. Then of course you're assuming that they
know you have a valve in the first place. You can't see the valve at all
from the outside of the car with the belly pan in place...and if someone
wanted to mess with your car, there are certainly easier targets.
