Default stupid question

This is my first Wrangler. I had a new Hemi Commander (burned to the ground 2 months ago) and a H3 Lux w/ lift and 35's...

Taking off the softtop for the first time, what the heck keeps people from unzipping the windows and climbing in/stealing whatever??

Well, the insurmountable level of human kindness, decency and integrity that is so prevalent in the world today of course











and a nice chunk of hickory or ash.

Leaving the doors unlocked (assuming that the thief is smart enough to check).

I just hope that the thief is smart enough to know the windows can be unzipped.

You're more likely going to find a slash cut somewhere in your top because most thieves are stupid.

this sir is the exact same reason i laugh at my fellow jeepers who lock their doors with a soft top on. i would rather leave the windows down and doors unlocked so that anyone could rumage around versus someone cutting a $250 set of plastic wrap.

if its valuable and does not fit in the back storage compartment... it stays with me.
