is it saft to leave the doors unlocked in cities like philly?

Re: do you lock the doors of your jeep?
 

I've seen a slit cut into a rag top, even unlocked. Just another example
of jealousy, like the trolls of this group.

I live in NYC and always lock my doors even with the top off.
I run a soft top March through November and have not had a problem
yet.
That said I leave nothing out in my rig. I have a tuffy locking
console and everything is in there or locked in my garage until I need
it.
Now that I said that I'll might walk out tomorrow morning and top
will be cut and my rig trashed but the doors will still be locked.

I live in Milwaukee - never lock the doors - try not to keep anything too
valuable in it.

Still doesn't mean that people don't take a peek to see what I do have
inside - and steal my favorite wool winter hat. :-/

Re: do you lock the doors of your jeep?
 

Doors? I aint go no stinking doors.

If you have a soft top and half doors, or a soft top and full doors for that
matter, it is probably best for your top to leave the doors unlocked. Take
EVERYTHING out, leave NOTHING in, and leave the doors unlocked. If you lock
the doors, the top will be cut. The top may be cut anyhow, but if anybody is
going to get in, they are going to get in no matter what you do, so you may
as well not do anything that is going to result in your stuff getting mucked
up.

I think leaving it open with nothing to take is best.

Soft tops aren't even safe in the bush, the freakin' raccoons know how
to open the zippers at the corners, let alone safe in the city!

I lock mine now and then, depending on where I'm parking it and what's in
it. It's kind of an exercise in futility though.

Locking it only slows someone down from getting in through a rear zipper
anyway. I just think that it keeps them from looking like they own it by
just stepping in rather than climbing through the back.

Re: do you lock the doors of your jeep?
 

I didn't lock mine for a couple years after the factory grease in the lock
mechanism congealed to the point that I couldn't. But of course I live in
Silverton and the biggest town I ever visit is Durango. That applies to the
full steel doors that go with the fiberglass hard top only. The half door
soft top combination continued to lock OK, but of course that is only good
for keeping honest people out. This summer I finally got around to taking
the full doors apart and lubricating the lock mechanism. Look Ma, it locks
and unlocks, just like a real car. I am not too worried about marmots
breaking in, because they're not tall enough and not that bright. They ate
the wiring harness on my neighbor's Ford Explorer a few years back. Never
saw anyone with such a powerful antipathy towards marmots, like he is now.
Linx maybe, or coyotes, might break in and take my Jeep for a joy ride.
Grizzly haven't been spotted here since the seventies, and black bear I
don't think could drive with those claws they have. Wouldn't need to
either. Have you ever seen one move, when they wanted to?

Cheers,

Earle

Well put --

My [99.5% empty] TJ gets rifled through so often that I'm beginning to
think it's their first stop on a night of petty theft -- they sure
like those 99c flashlights. Christ, I go through those things like
candy.

The only reason I could see to lock the doors would be if the local
thieves' guild decided to target half doors/windows....but it hasn't
happened yet.

Well put --

My [99.5% empty] TJ gets rifled through so often that I'm beginning to
think it's their first stop on a night of petty theft -- they sure
like those 99c flashlights. Christ, I go through those things like
candy.

The only reason I could see to lock the doors would be if the local
thieves' guild decided to target half doors/windows....but it hasn't
happened yet.

Re: do you lock the doors of your jeep?
 

I bought one of those blinking light thingys
that start blinking when the ignition is off
It mimics an alarm.
I mounted it on the top of the steering column of the TJ.
It kinda stops the interest when I have the doors and top off.
Although there is nothing worth to steal.
the only thing visible is a booklet of copied CD's of my music.
I don't think they'd steal my music any ways :-)
