probably because it requires a lot of dedication and time to steal your engine from under the your hood, whereas ppl keep a lot of valuables in their trunk. No one just walks up to a parked car and walks off with the engine....you steal the whole car, take the engine and ditch the car....and with ppl that dedicated a little lock wont do anything.
