One don't keep crap in it. Or just only go doorless when you know you won't have to stop anywhere you won't be by it. My plan Is to just go doorless when wheeling

Put a picture of my exwife on the dash. That will scare away any want to be thieves.

If you can;t get a pic put a snake on the dash, that's almost as scary...

Good idea. I have a really realistic looking ceramic rattlesnake. Whenever I leave it somewhere and forget about it it makes me jump. I'm going to put it in the jeep. I already have a mouse trap set in the glove box.

i leave all my valuables right on the front seats and park in bad neighborhoods.

the theives see such an easy target that they think its a trap and will get caught.

never had anything stolen.

I let my jeep present itself in bad neighborhoods........it says crazy white boy with guns owns me, go ahead and try it! Never had anyone mess with it. Years ago someone stole my cd player out of my cj. But it had hard top and locked doors. Lol

yea also if you have to park somewhere, park in the front near cameras. that detures thieves and if it don't well, you've got cameras. also, don't leave valuables.

I like the whole lock box idea but as someone said before. If its locked its gotta have something nice in it so people are going to want it. I been just leaving anything i dont want to lose out of the jeep!

I don't keep anything in there when the doors are off, or even when they're on. I'm more worried about people sitting/touching/or throwing things in there like corn on the cob and foil.. Since I live in a city, that's what I worry about. That and popping my hood and taking my red top.
