And yes, I agree that nothing is ever theft proof-- what are we supposed to do then? Just leave the doors unlocked, seats unbolted, with a sign that says "Doors are unlocked and seats are unbolted, please remove then with care, thanks!" It's almost worth it to keep your doors open versus having the theives destroy your entire soft top just to access the seats. Like you said, if the theif wants your car, or whatevers in your car bad enough, they will take it. As far as taking matters into my own hands, I check on my car a few times an evening from my bedroom window.. my cars parked about 10 feet from my front door. Thankfully, where I live, has a very low crime rate.

I agree with you, it all depends on where you live.

Like s2kx2 said, if I ever catch anyone trying to steal what I worked hard for, I will take matters into my own hands.
