I never lock the Jeepster. Either w/ the steel top or the vinyl one. I
also only keep CDR burned copies of music in it (no resale for thieves),
and only label them with stuff like 'roadtunes#1' or something that
basically only means something to me. The in-dash CD player has a
removable face and I always yank it if I'm parking in a lot. I also keep
next to nothing in the Jeep anyway.
If they really want it, they'll get it.

Re: STUPID QUESTION
When we were looking for our second Jeep, we went to a lot, first one was
soft top, doors locked, so we just unzipped window and sat in it to look,
second one, hard top, of coarse they forgot to lock the trunk, so once
again, in we went.
