Default Stolen tan colored stock Seats

A friend of mine got his top slashed last Sat night and thief/ves stole his seats and shift knob from his GPW. Didn't touch the cash in his glovebox though it was found open. He lives near the Reston Parkway in what was a safe neighborhood. Police say they never get any calls in his neck of the woods and were shocked that this happened. Please pm me if you notice tan seats suspiciously appearing onsale. Thx

I'll make sure if I hear/see anything I let you know. I'm just a few minutes from you guys. I'm in a gated community so I feel semi-safe, but when I hear about stories this close it worries me.

Get seat locks everyone! Don't make it easy for them. The replacement cost for these seats are absurd and the insurance co's will eventually adjust your rating for these kinda claims.
Not for comprehensive claims...they might adjust your group's rates (i.e. S-owners, your neighborhood), but not just your's

I did a quick search on the locks for seats but couldnt find them....never owning a car with seats worth stealing whats the deal with them? How do they go on? How do they work? How much do they cost? Where to get them? Thanks

PM Kodokan_4 about the seat locks, he sells them for $61 per set.

One more idea. Ask Kodokan_4 about the little seat lock window stickers. They, at least used to be, extra. May be included now. They just might save the top from being cut in the first place. Maybe not though. Thieves suck.

Thong! This crap is getting ridiculous.

My seats were stolen as well. I then bought some used tan ones. If your buddy decides to not get tan seats again, I'd be interested in buying his door panels or trading plus cash.
