Default how can I keep my soft top side windows safe?!

I have installed my soft top for the summer and I love it!
BUT...
What do you do with the side windows when you open the soft top all the way?
(leave it on the floor of my Jeep in the back?!)
I always a feared that someone will steal it from my Jeep... specially when I had to stop on my way home for shopping in a shopping center...
or worse, lose it on the highway on my way home some how...

Help please...

Pick up a window roll or better yet, make your own. few pieces of felt, heavy duty trash bag and some sleeping bag straps. Works great. Some guys get some PVC pipes to throw em in too.

Herculine or linex the tub and don't even worry about windows anymore. I have left mine off all summer, it rains, it fills up and I pull the plugs.

To roll the side windows, I place them in fleece. I take the two ends that goes into the surrounds and sit them together (with the fleece in between the windows). Then roll them tightly and then use the straps as suggested. The plastic that hooks to the tub will curve and roll back out. Just lay'em flat and roll them up. I leave them in the back, because one can not tell they are windows. Just some rolled up dorky looking fleece. I place it behind the drivers seat, they fit pretty well in there. I don't have the back bench in my JK.
