It'll either happen or it won't; dreading it won't influence those chances one bit.

Otherwise Kodokan seat locks should do the trick (or there's been a few 'DIY' variations). Past that....... works well on Paranoia

p.s. A hardtop might stop your lookey-loo common thief; but any thief that knows what their doing, a hardtop is no more of a security than a soft-top. Just more inconvenient for them.
My number one fear is getting the seats stolen, or getting my roof slashed up, both which are expensive fixes. All the rest, I could care less about, that's what insurance is for. I'm pretty sure if someone wanted my car that bad enough and meant business, they would use a flatbed truck and pick it up. That said your post kinda woke me up that it's just a car. Oh and I did order the Kodokan seat locks, so it brings some peace of mind.

I love living in the country...no one would dare come onto your property to steal something for fear of dogs or being shot by the owner. (edit: both of which are very likely if someone tried to steal my seats)
I have a beater 450k mile truck with steelies, and someone STILL stole a wheel from the truck when i was in Patterson. Just don't park in dicey spots and you are golden.
