Vandalism is a no fault claim. They can't drop you for that.

I'm sorry to hear about this

I never had this happen to me but I had someone push a lit cigerette into my top making a hole. I just said screw it and got a hardtop so I didn't have to worry about anyone messing with it again.

i really hate hearing this shit, i havent had mine for very long but im sure this will happen to me too. what i wouldnt do to catch someone in the act. anyways i would look into a HT if i had a problem like this but the only problem is i like having the top down and it seems like it would be a problem taking it on and off all the time. plus when its off u need a place to store it if u dont have a garage, also does it take two people to take it off and on?

The hardtop isn't very heavy but it does require 2 people to take off...well easily that is. I just leave mine on since I love the look with it on. I do take it off sometimes and store on a hardtop holder I got from hardtopguy

dude chase, that sucks...
I'd say go with a hardtop.
Get a lightweight one and lose the soft-top and motor!
