- Nice people eh? I've had that happen before. I lost a vanity mirror on the

- I think any locks on a rag top are a big mistake. I solved my problem
- (sorta) buy buying an alarm with one of those doppler radar thingies that
- detect an intrusion. I guess they're the same as the motion detectors that
- turn security lights on and off. I also lock my center console and have a
- slide out radio. If I leave my Jeep parked for more than a day or so I usually
- take everything out of it to make sure.
-
- Get one of the good aftermarket locking consoles and an alarm if you wish.
- Door locks on soft tops are just asking for trouble.
