Never considered the insurance point, I may check as I often leave the hood down if I'm only going of be a couple of minutes.

The only time I've ever left the roof down is on a petrol station forecourt when I've been paying as you can still see it while you're queuing.

Insurance won't even cover you if the hood is left down and the car is in a secure garage. I have checked this in the past as I used to leave mine in the garage with the tonneau on.

Basically, hood down means no theft cover whatsoever for car or contents.

Whilst you're faffing about leaving gloveboxes open etc etc surely you might just as well put the hood up.

For most low lifes an open car be it sports or otherwise represents all that they do not have. Something smart, fun, expensive, a non-essential luxury, a consequent interpretation that the the owner is a rich git and a show off. Ergo much envy and thus much reason for gobbing into, use as an ashtray, vent their frustration and anger upon.

Attracting excessive attention by laziness in putting roof up, & owners deserve to be targetted.
i've usually got the tonneau on
