Default Worried over Jeep envy

Hi everyone. I often find myself hesitating on where I go when I know I have to leave Badger (my jeep) out in a parking lot. I dont know.. I just feel worried that some envious non-jeeper will think my Jeep belongs to a douchebag or something and vandalize it . It makes me want a JK Girl sticker that much more maybe it would deter would be non-jeeping-jealous-POS driving-a**holes??

Is this dumb?? Have a lot of you experienced vandalism??

I worry sometimes...but you cant live in fear of the un known...just park in well lighted, well viewed areas and enjoy your jeep without worry..

Not dumb at all.. I've got several door dings from lazy, inconsiderate, aholes over the years. Now I park at the back of parking lots, try to put one side on a curb, and if necessary I'll try to park next to a 4door instead of a 2door (doors are shorter and less likely to swing open and hit). I hate people that open their door into my vehicle LAZY F#$#S...

get sliders with tubes, that will prevent door dings.
Envy? yes, someone threw eggs at my jeep before. F-ers.

Yeah.. I have always tried to take care of whatever vehicle I have owned so I have always tried to watch it for various door dings and etc.. but I really feel like I could walk out one day with a big "F*** YOU" carved in to the side or something.. and all I have are tires and wheels! I am just getting started so I wonder if any of you with the works ever feel like or has had their rigs messed with just for being badass

I worry about someone opening the hood and messing with stuff. Gonna get a lock soon.
Years ago, I was in the military, and one of the guys I knew had a CJ, and someone slit his soft top, and cut EVERY single wire under the dash.
Also, another fella I worked with had a TJ, and he found a bum sleeping in his jeep. He just undid the soft top and crawled inside to get out of the rain. No damage, but it was funky for a few weeks. Ha also had his soft top slit down the side.
No respect for peoples property.

I've had someone put a shopping cart right up against my front passenger tire. I didn't think to look and my jeep is just high enough to where I couldn't see it. I jumped in pulled forward and ran it over with my front tire. I was scared as hell cuz I didn't know what happened but I just backed up. Jeep-1, shopping cart-0
