STUPID QUESTION
I know this is a stupid question, but I just bought a TJ soft top
(2000) and was wondering what some of you experienced Jeep owners do in this situation. Do you even bother to lock the doors on your jeep when you park it in public, thinking that it will deter most snatch and grab thieves, or do you leave them unlocked to avoid anyone cutting or tearing up the vinyl windows to get in. I have debated on which to do, but have been locking my doors because I live, work, and play in a relatively safe area and thought that most theives will avoid making a big scene to get in a car. But what are all of your thoughts? Thanks! |
Re: STUPID QUESTION
Real Jeeps don't have locks..... just kidding.
My 1989 YJ didn't come with locks. But that didn't stop a jerk from cutting the back window to try to get my speakers anyway (he/she didn't get them). The idiot didn't realize there weren't locks. Another time I did have someone break into my console, they went through all my cds, but didn't like my taste in music. They left everything there. They broke the lock on the console, but it was an easy fix. If a theif wants something there is no way to stop them, no way at all. Try to leave everything out of view so you don't temp them. If you don't want it stolen, a good rule of thumb is to not put it in your Jeep. -Mark |

Re: STUPID QUESTION
LEAVE NOTHING INSIDE. Nothing. And do not lock the doors.
In 6 years of having a CJ, the only thing that has been removed from my Jeep is a flashlight. And, it was removed while I was at a rock crawling championship. Who woulda thunk that people that do what I do would also steal stuff from a Jeep?

Re: STUPID QUESTION
I don't leave anything in my jeep that I can't afford to lose. Things like
my high-lift jack I bolt down so they are not easy and quick to remove but I still don't mind getting them out if I need them. I also carry an old scissor style jack ( because I don't trust a high-lift for changing tires ) that could be taken, but who would want to steal that? Now and then I will "hide" things like a poncho under the rear seat but once again nothing I can afford to lose. I don't even have a stereo or speakers.

Re: STUPID QUESTION
I leave mine unlocked. I don't have a garage, so I have to park along
the curb in front of my house. My TJ ends up being rummaged through (console, glove box, door left open, etc) maybe 3 times a year on average it seems. Not sure how many of those times the idiot(s) would have damaged the soft top to gain access had they found the doors locked, but I'm not taking that chance. Then again, I'm not sure how many of those 3 times per year could be avoided if they found a locked door and simply moved on. It's a Catch 22, damned if you do, damned if you don't I guess. :) Dave http://mysite.verizon.net/res0p2es/david/index.htm On 3 Dec 2003 06:57:29 -0800, no1volzfan@yahoo.com (Shane) wrote: >I know this is a stupid question, but I just bought a TJ soft top >(2000) and was wondering what some of you experienced Jeep owners do >in this situation.

Re: STUPID QUESTION
When I first got the Jeep I locked the doors (because that is what I did
with my other cars)... but now I don't bother... with a soft top and windows that have zippers, I see little reason... Just don't keep anything valuable in the Jeep (the same caution you'd take with any convertible). |
