Default Someone broke into the jeep

Left it in my college campus and went home for a week for thanksgiving. Came back and they took my gps, broke my glove box and trashed the inside.

It just bothers me that someone was in it

If I ever find them.....they're gonna be hurting.

It's a hard top too! No idea how they got in

horrible. no cameras in the parking lot? they must have pried the door unlock if nothing else was broken. this is why i try to never leave anything valuable in the jeep.

thats the worst, sorry someone ruined your holiday break! seems like these jeeps are pretty easy to get into even with hard tops.

Sorry to hear this. Had to get rid of the TJ for just this reason. I emotionally could not handle it getting broken in to almost weekly (even with the doors unlocked) they would still "break" in.

There were cameras but I parked in a blind spot (just my luck)

its almost not worth locking in my eyes. it just gives them a reason to break glass or cut the windows. same goes for the console and glove box, if its locked they think something valuable is in there.

They broke the handle off my glove box. Good thing it has a decent lock otherwise all my papers would have been gone I bet.

ive had cars broken into and it really sucks. when i bought my jeep i caught someone trying to get into to it so i finally went out and got a security system. i bought the compustar brand and had shock senser installed. and then realized when my top is down and bar doors on someone can still reach in so i added the proxcimity sensers. works great, almost to great. i also added the drone app on my cell phone so when the alarm is triggered it goes to my phone so i can control it all from anywhere. its something all jeep guys should do, but its not cheap.
