I have an alarm with microwave sensors. If I had the top down, reaching into my car will cause it to give a warning beep at first and then set off the alarm.
If ever I park withthe roof off, it is only when I'm not going to be long (hate for it to rain while I was away). I always keep the ash tray open and nothing in view (amazing what people will do to steal some loose change from a car). I also lock the centre console with my key before I walk away.

same here.
sensors can get annoying though. mine is on the lowest setting. i think i have about 7 settings of sensitivity. even at 1, my car beeps when parked in front of trees cause of the leaves/branches swaying back and forth from the wind. the sensors are extra sensitive when the top is down.
i have the clifford concept 550.

Yep same here only when I have full view like at a food and I can see my car. Parking at the mall is the worst. I'm so paranoid of someone hitting my car breaking in etc. I always park near the police station precinct at our mall just for secuirity but still get nervous.

I would always put my top up..... what it takes about 6 seconds, and you wont have to worry about it. Anways there's always a moron out there that might do something to your interior that you might not find pleasent.... just put it up.

If I'm going to be gone for more than 45 minutes, I will put the top up.
If shorter than 45min, I will leave it down with the windows up.
Sure I suppose someone could just jump in and put a big ass shoe print on my trunk but I just feel it is safer that way.
