Default jeep naked at school/ driveway at night?

So i want to come doorless and top less to school but I don't if I should or not since I don't really trust people here?

And in my drive way should I leave my jeep naked since I don't have a garage?
A week ago they broke into my neighbors car and stole his after market stereo but I have mine still stock? I would leave my jeep in front of my parents window and its in the middle of all then other cars? We also have a motion light next to the jeep?

What do you guys think? What do you guys do to prevent people with sticky hands?
I wouldn't leave anything in my jeep just my Cb witch is a cobra 19xd and my floor mats? Thanks guys !

I leave mine naked in my apartment parking lot all the time. It doesn't bother me at all. Cars have been broken into there every now and then, but I don't leave anything of value in the jeep, and at least a crook can't "break" in. I've talked to my insurance agent and he's told me that if someone were to rip out the radio or tear open the glove box, it would be covered by insurance since it would be considered a break in. But I've been leaving it naked either at home or at my apartment for 5 years now and no problems yet *knock in wood*

It's really a tough call. We used to leave ours out in the driveway without anything other than the club on the steering wheel but after all the Jeep thefts here in So Cal we stopped leaving it naked in the driveway. Now it's naked but in the garage so it's all good again. I found out from wildandwillin that he bought some kick ass alarm now that he relocated to San Jose so maybe that's an answer for your situation.

Well my jeep would be in the middle of the drive way so there's no way of anyone taking out. I'm worried about people trying to take my seats ripping up my dash or even my cb.

Would insurance cover any of that? That's the main reason I leave mine with peace of mind

That's actually a really good question...the vehicle is a convertible so it's meant to have the top down sometimes.

Majority of thieves are looking for quick cash, so they take the low hanging fruit that they can convert quickly on the street. My son left his TJ naked in his high school parking lot, our driveway, and at Best buy when he got a job there. He never had anything stolen. (Now he is in the Marines and has it on base).
