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 :-)

I live in So-Cal. I have a soft top and never lock my jeep doors. I
figure they will just pull a window on the soft top or just cut right
through it.

Re: do you lock the doors of your jeep?
Yes Frank
Those blinking things really work. I've done this on several passenger
cars. A 555, a led and some discrete parts and you have a circuit for
less than a dollar that will put a blinking light in your dash. Now
that I think about it, I believe we have a circuit that does that.
I never lock my XJ because the locks freeze in the winter even with
graphite in the locks. Just leave a cigarette lighter and a cheapo
flashlight in the glovebox for the theives. I keep a $25 CTC took kit
under the back seat for emergencies but nothing of value. The lowlifes
are just looking to grab anything that can be swapped for crack.
Nothing wrong with Chet, Buck and Hank but the crack addicts might
break into your vehicle again to put it back!
