#1 - A soft top wouldn't touch my deductible.

#2 - If I had a lower deductible, I still wouldn't open a claim for this
amount of money. In fact, I wouldn't even call and ASK the insurance
company about it.

If you're carrying a $250 deductible, you're paying too much for
insurance. Adding a $500 claim to that deductible will probably make
you pay even more for insurance, if you still have it at renewal time.

Scroll down to: "Auto and homeowners insurance "must do's"" In short,
save the insurance for the big claims.

I've found Clark's advice to be very accurate on many topics.

Have fun,

Don't lock the jeep and possibly that will prevent some future slashings.
You can't really lock it anyway with a soft top.

It wasn't locked, for that very reason.

I take all valuables out, pull the face off the radio, and leave 'er
unlocked.
