For many thieves a parked vehicle is an "op shop". They'll break in 
just to see if there's anything they can use/eat/drink/sell. I lock my
car even in my own driveway.

      Title: Lady Locks
 Categories: Cookies, Desserts, Snacks
      Yield: 3 Dozen
 
     16 oz Box puff pastry
           Clothes pins
           +=OR=+
           Lady lock forms
      1 lg Egg; beaten
           +=WITH=+
      2 tb Water for egg wash
    1/2 c  Softened butter
      1 c  Powdered sugar
    1/4 c  Shortening
    1/4 c  Evaporated milk; cold
  1 1/2 ts Vanilla
      5 tb Marshmallow creme
           Colored jimmies
           Powdered sugar
 
  About 1 hour before beginning recipe, defrost puff pastry
  in refrigerator. DO NOT remove pastry from plastic bag.
  After 1 hour, unwrap one section of pastry and rewrap in
  a damp towel. It is very important to keep pastry cold
  and damp at all times. If the pastry is not cold to the
  touch, put it back into the refrigerator until it is.
  
  Carefully unroll one sheet of pastry and cut widthwise
  in 3/4" strips. Roll each strip around a clothes pin or
  form, being careful not to smash the dough. Brush with
  egg wash and place on pastry sheet.
  
  Bake at 375ºF/190ºC until golden brown. Cool cookies just
  until you can pick them up. Remove the shells from the
  forms. Repeat with second sheet.
  
  Lady locks can be stored in a covered container for one
  month.
  
  For filling, beat butter and shortening. Add powdered
  sugar and cold milk, beating well. Add vanilla and then
  marshmallow creme. When smooth and fluffy, use pastry
  tube or cookie press icing tube to fill shells. Fill
  from both ends.
  
  Dip each end into colored jimmies and dust with powdered
  sugar shake through a sifter.
  
  Makes about 3 dozen.
