before i joined this stupid forum(i only say that because it was educational) i never worried about the "S" i would leave it parked outside top down where ever i was. Never a worry in my mind, but ever since i joined this forum i've become hyper paranoid...lol. Ignorance was bliss!!!!....lol.

it was either a junkyard that my dad found or some place that insurance referred us to.
another S2k just happened to get his top off and replace it with a BLUE ragtop instead. Just lucky timing I guess?
I can ask my dad where it was, but this was about 4 yrs ago.

This is seriously heartbreaking to hear. I don't understand why a ragtop is any different from a car with windows, and yet this car is different. How annoying.
BTW, let us know who it was if they match those prints. =p
I want to park with my top always down, but damn, there are so many things to still take with the top down!!! That is why print match and =p up above.

The dirt is the finger print powder from the cops. They got a few prints so hopefully they'll be able to catch these idiots. It sucks that its in a supposedly gated apartment complex. Last week I had 2 of our bikes stolen. Pretty lame security.

if you get a hardtop you will never take it off, might as well sell the S and get a mommy wagon.
Just keep the top down, looks like you are in a covered parking, keep the top down and they wont cut the top. Works for me, 34 years so far and no slashed tops.

i talked to the other s2000 owner in the complex and he heard there were a few other break-ins last night too. another patrol car was in the lot questioning people. looks like some dumb a$$ kids were just Fn around all night. i just hope i dont catch em one night and end up in jail for assault and battery of a minor

I think you guys without an HT should install seat-locks, remove all valuables from the car and always leave the car unlocked. A soft-top and a locked car are worthless when it comes to any determined thief. It will always result in a slashed top.
