Steeling is bad enough... But cutting the top is down-right assholish. It's not like you need to to get into a soft top. Hopefully Santa will recover the losses before Christmas and they catch the culprit.

Unfortunately, that has always been a common problem for people with soft tops. I would personally never own one again

theyll just as easily smash your window in if you have things (of any value) in plain sight.
leverage DARK tinted windows & keep your stuff outta view (false decks or dark blankets/coats) can help (but it isnt fool proof) !
