You live in apartments? LOTS of seats have got stolen this past year or so man.Get some seat locks or stick it in the garage.Atleast with the seat locks they will only slash your top before they figure out your seats are stuck.

Was at a meet for the other club and there was a new person there who had his seats stolen but someone in his complex called the cops and they managed to nab the seat thieves and he got his seats back. IIRC this happened in January of this year.

Citation? It's a tired old argument and it's extremely unusual despite how often people claim that seats will be slashed. Reupholstering is cheaper than new seats (though you might be able to find used or aftermarket for less). Also, good luck driving without seats. You can certainly drive even with slashed seats.

What happens is that the slashing (vandalism) can total out your car as well. We had a member here who had his car totaled out due to this

Either way what alleykat said. Welcome to the boards whar are the ultimate goal for the car?
