Thanks for all the suggestions, guys. The juiced top is good and sounds a little less destructive than the bomb approach (although that was very creative, Doc!).

WLaurent - I think an alarm is definitely on my list but keep in mind I have covered parking with cars right next to me so I don't want the thing going nuts all the time.

As far as moving or the hardtop options go - NO. I like my condo and the price is right and I refuse to get a hardtop. Like the freedom of going topless anytime I want (don't all girls?) plus I have no way to remove or store it.

Keep 'em coming guys. A beer and pizza stake out sounds fun - I'll buy the first round.
Didn't someone mention a happy hour soon? Not soon enough for me!

Lauren,

A hardtop is VERY easy to take on and off. You could easily bring it into your house and store it. It takes less then a minute to pull it off and set it up against the wall. A hardtop still allows for top down driving!

I can show you how easy it is at the next event if you want.

 

I have a pretty good alarm wired up into my car with a motion sensor option installed. It has two areas that it detects, both of which can be adjusted for sensitivity. One area is inside the cab and the other is around the car. I have the cab area cranked all the way up and the exterior proximity turned off. It works great. If you walk up and around the car it will not go off, but lay a finger on the soft top and it goes off. I like it and highly recommend, works well except for REALLY windy days where the soft top moves a lot setting off the alarm. It works great for being parked with the top down. It only goes off if you reach into the cab area. I live in Tucson and with the horrible area I am in and how many times my car has been F***ed with, I sleep with a loaded Glock 22 three feet away and wait everynight to hear the alarm go off.

 

I got an assault rifle for Christmas. I'm game.

 

Lets just call in those TiTs boys - they are always up for fun and very discrete.


I am in for a stake-out though. Lauren does not even need to buy the beer and pizza.

 

Sorry to hear about this Lauren...I like the idea of a stake out and hard top. I'm all for a little violence to stop the crime. Happy Driving.

I didn't see what part of town this crime happened in. Did this happen at the car auction, or an apartment?

 

Didn't happen at the car auction (very good valet service, by the way, but expensive - Yes, I know none of YOU would valet but you"re not a single female either - Except maybe Joe!). Live in N. Phoenix condo with gate and covered parking. Usually very safe. Even a DPS car parked within 50 feet! Ballsy little shits...

Took the S to Lori today. Police finally dusted for prints at 3 am this morning

Now the insurance guy gets his shot at it...

I'm drinking and posting

Finally got a Stratus instead of the damn minivan!

Shit, shit, shit....let's shoot the little fu*#
