I avoid situations where I have valuables in the Jeep, but don't feel that I can lock it (such as dark, out-of-the-way parking lots with little traffic).
BTW: I do lock my tailgate. I keep certain things in the storage cubby (winch controller, air hose, etc). This includes my vehicle insurance and registration information. I figure most thieves won't know to look there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee3L9BQQ4Gs |
I lock my console, glove box, and tailgate. If I'm in a crazy busy place, I'll lock the doors. The way I see it, if you run into a smart thief (no such thing), they'll just unzip your windows anyway. If they want in, they're gonna get in, no matter what you do.

I lock mine! Why make it any easier for them? If they want it... it's already theirs!

I can say that a bit easier - my signature doesn't say Sony, MTX, MyGIG, SatNav, amp, box or anything anyone would want to steal. They can have my stock deck if they want - I'd like to upgrade anyway. :dontknow2:

It seems the less I have on the Jeep the less people mess with it. When I run without doors and top no one seems to mess with it. Possibly because they can see in and realize there is nothing worth stealing (unless they want a $40 CB).

well for the habit of locking my car? just because i like pressing the lock button on my key pad. like how "Alt_phil" said.
I dont have to worry about any knifes slicing my softtop cause i got a hardtop on, and if they want it that bad..their gonna have to try hard to get in. Not my fault they dont make a living to buy there own jeep, so they go out there way to steal one. plus im a full student, so theres valuable items in my car that cost money. so lets try to keep the thiefs out for now! lmao |
With the soft top I almost always lock the glove box and center console. Also, with the doors off it's almost impossible to get the tailgate unlocked without the key fob. The only lock switches are on the front doors...so that secures the rear compartment fairly well. With the doors on I do feel a bit better with the alarm set when I'll be in earshot.

I lock my Tuffy drawer when the top is off. No one is getting in it with easily.

I look mine, even with doors and top down too. I'm going to make it as hard as I can on them. Plus your gate locks and it's a bitch to get stuff out with my soft top down.
