Some mofo...

Unzipped a window on our Jeep today while we were in a store   Thankfully we have nothing of interest to take but damn!!! I hope their balls and or nips fall off   Buttholes!

Sorry Marley. Someone probably thought cool special new Jeep meant $$ and

potential stuff to steal. Hopefully that won't happen ever again.

Stuff like what you experienced has always made me wonder how folks with

convertibles are willing to leave them in parking lots with the top down.

[Peace Of Mind]

All I can say is be glad they used the zipper and not a knife.    I'm glad you had nothing of value in your new Jeep to be stolen and that your Jeep wasn't stolen either. 

[MarleyKeezy78]

Freaked me out, we were driving home and I noticed light at the top of one window, completely unzipped and flapped open when I checked it  I left the top down on our old Jeep all summer and never had any issues with someone tampering with it. We will have to make sure we stay out of the areas that are not so great but where we were was only a city over but I do think is sketchy. We live in a super safe little city so get too complaciant about safety I guess. Told DH if we had caught them I would have chased them around the parking lot, god forbid I get ahold of them   <---Me beating the holy hell out of them!

[MarleyKeezy78]

Also thank you, I am very thankful nothing worse happened. 

[toomuchreality]

In addition to being glad nothing was taken, or ruined, I'm glad you and your DH are both safe!

Whew!

I never leave the top of my convertible down anywhere. Not because of crime but because of weather and birds. Even some idiots think it's funny to throw stuff in open cars.

I always think of birds, but my brother used to have a Camaro Z28 with glass T-tops.  He left the T tops off when he went out on the boat fishing one time.  There was a huge storm while they were out, and they came back to inches of water pouring out of the car when they opened the doors.

Oh my gosh Sroo! I hope bad, bad karma happened to the person that did that!

Back in the 80's I had T tops stolen out of my car. They knew what they were doing because had alarm system and all. They also stole T tops out of neighbors car.

Insurance agent said he wasn't surprised since there was a hurricane (Hugo, I think) on east coast and a rash of things like T tops stolen to resale. The Datsun/Nissan dealership got hit big time.

But sorry you had to go thru this since I know how it feels and it really pisses you off!!!!!

I had a convertible when I was a teenager. I'm over it now. The noise and the sunburn and the babying the ragtop makes them much less fun.

I never left my T tops out either for that reason. I even paid attention when traveling to "storm" clouds in the distance and if saw cars in other direction with their lights on I pulled over and put my tops in just to be on safe side!!!

Most of the time I leave the top down on the convertible if I'm only going to be gone  2 hours or less. DH is more paranoid about it than I am. I do watch the weather closely and don't park under trees.
In 10 years I've never had any issues.

I do put the top up when I leave it all day at work.

MY DH has his Jeep broken into once. Someone unzipped a window in back (his was only a 2 door Jeep) climbed in and over the back seat into the front seat, stole his reading glasses, a wallet that contained his gym membership card (for a gym in a different state) and the $2.12 in change out of his change holder. Thank God that's all that was in there! We later found all of the stuff on the ground near the dumpster at the end of the isle where he parked. (Yes, this happened in our apartment parking lot over night).

Best part of this, though, was that neither door was locked. We had come back from the grocery store, had our hands full and forgot to lock the doors. Dumb teenage thief!!

Tasers, yep tasers! All vehicles should be armed with automatic tasers. No code or key in 5-6 seconds...zap em! Let 50000 volts lay em out in the parking lot! Bet there won't be a repeat offense.  Also would keep those pesky dogs from lifting their legs around your vehicle!

<<Snort>> I posted this very idea on the FB Jeep club I am in last night   Love it!!!

I never had any trouble when I had a convertible either. I was careful not to leave anything in it, except locked in the trunk. I don't think I really thought about birds pooping in it, but they didn't, thank goodness!

Let's send bad karma to who ever has harmed us EVER!  I'm not feeling too forgiving tonight.

I went to the local mall one time shortly after we got our new minivan.  And, one of the kids didn't close the slider. So, when we came out the car was wide open. And, nobody bothered it! lol

[MarleyKeezy78]

That's pretty lucky Shooby! Last summer I took my grandma shopping and we keep the top off during the summer. We had purchased things and ran to several stores, never had any issue with someone grabbing something out of the Jeep, of course we were in a city I trusted(not that it still couldn't happen). 

[Artemis Windsong]

The old geezers who meet up to go play golf out of town are usually so excited.  Someone usually leaves their trunk open and sometimes a door.  I haven't heard if anyone bothers their stuff.
