I'm paranoid, and I haven't even picked mine up yet! I'm thinking about buying some "mobile security" just in such a case.

I am always paranoid about random people trying to steal my car.

Actually if your packing in your car its legal in Colorado with out a permit, the exception being Denver and thats in court . You just can't conceal it when exiting your vehicle there's where the permit comes in.

Just keep your doors locked; most jackers will simply open the door and jump in, not going over the top of the door. Also, when stopped in traffic, keep enough distance in front to be able to pull into the next lane (hopefully clear). I used this a couple of years ago when some bad ass dude was having a fit of road rage and was going to kick my ass. I simply pulled into the next lane, hit the gas as I was flipping him off and got the hell out of there.

Yup keep'em locked even with the top down . If nothing else it might give me a second as they try to jerk the door open.
