Question Leaving your jeep unlocked?

Do any of you leave your jeep unlocked when you are at work or in the drive way at home? I was reading on another post that some jeepers do this to keep people from cutting there windows to get in to steel something. Is this true?

Sometimes I lock my doors, but they are in the garage, so it doesn't keep people out of my Jeep
seriously, nothing that I keep in my Jeep is worth more than the top, so it stays unlocked. I would rather someone take a cheap item, than cut my top

Stays unlocked. I don't keep anything worth much in her to make it worth while for anyone. I also make sure I dont keep deposit slips or anything else with important #'s on it in there.
People cutting your top just to be an a**hole, that is another story. I have not had that happen (knocking on wood right now) , but it has happened to other people.

I don't leave anything of value in my jeep either but I guess I still have a hard time not locking it! I have not had any problems yet but you guys do make a good point for keep it unlocked. Old habits die hard I guess!

Hard Top on, I'll lock it. Top off, no point to do so.

I always lock it. If an opportune thief walks by checking all the car doors, if it's open, he'll go in. Why make it easy for the assholes. If they cut my soft top, so be it. Thief are scum and I refuse to make life easy for them.
