Not if you want the interior to be there when you return.

Note, 40 some years back a columnist in the local paper wrote he
carefully locked his Jeep when he parked in Phoenix because some SOB
might steal it and when he parked it in Payson, a small town north of
here, he left the keys in the ignition because some friend might need
to borrow it.

Times have changed. Lock it, hire security, chain a vicious dog to it
and you may have a 50% chance it won't be stripped, vandalized or
stolen.

A lot depends where you live. IIn NYC not a big market for Jeep
stuff especially lifted YJ's painted dull grey and white. My old
neighbor parked a lifted cherokee with a tool box, ax, and jack on top
for a few years that was never touched.
Now if I owned a tricked out ricer it would be gone in a sec. Someone
robbed the tires off a brand new honda accord around the corner from
my place last christmas eve. My Yj with 33's was a block away
untouched.
They left this new accord on plastic milk crates which were breaking
and the car was almost on the ground. The poor women who discovered it
Xmas morning had a helluva time finding someone to tow it(they would
need to have at least two tires to get it on a truck) on christmas
day.
