I leave mine naked in the driveway, but I also live in a relatively safe neighborhood. As for school, I did at first but then people thought it would be fun to mess with, so I would be weary of leaving it naked at school.

A proximity alarm would solve your worries. My wife's paranoid and she had one installed on hers. I just try not to think about it. In three years I've only lost a flashlight. I blame myself for not locking the glove box. I've never heard of anyone stealing seats. I really wish someone would steal mine. I'd get some better ones. There are guys literally giving away stock seats.

So for small items stolen you sort of get screwed but something large like a MyGig you'd certainly be covered. Good to know thanks for sharing!

Im really cautious about leaving anything I wouldn't want taken in the Jeep. Even the registration is secure. In all reality there really is no secure space inside regardless if you have the top and doors on or not. It's just the appearance of opportunity that lures thieves to steal or mess with it.

If you're just rocking a simple factory radio, you may be okay. They're fairly inexpensive to replace anyway so I'd rather them just take it than break something to get to it. I got a Tuffy cover to cover up my stereo after I swapped the MyGig for a multimedia and CB combo. It's not going to stop anyone with the time and patience to get it, but it sure will slow them down.

If I've got something of value in the Jeep, I'll usually leave it under the rear compartment. That way they can't get to it easily since the rear gate keeps it secured.

Other than that, just be aware of your surroundings, be cautious what you've got in your Jeep and enjoy it.

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 !
