I always leave mine out with the windows up. But I live in a town with a population of 2500 people so it is very safe.

Steal my ****, I dont care, thats what insurance is for. I leave my car unlocked all night, and I leave the t-tops off when in movies.

But honestly. I live in a small place, and am well known and liked, no one ***** with my ****... If they did, so much as a half full coke, id call the cops, fill out a report, and make insurance pay for the shampooing. I have full coverage minus collision, so who gives a ****....

If I have them off and go somewhere Ill leave them off, but I only do this with the windows all the way up and also because I have my alarm sent pretty sensitive. Ive had a stock 90 Silverado go by and it went off. But everything I have in there gets hidden also

It depends on where I'm parked and what I'm leaving in my car, if it's a big parking lot like Wal-Mart, Publix, etc. with a lot of traffic then no.

Besides walmart (mainly poor people no offense) but the larger more crowded parking lots are better. more people around your car and people wont mess with it b/c they will be easily seen. Plus theres cameras in almost all parking lots these days

When I park in those lots, I always park far away from everyone else though.
