I never lock my jeep, ever. Anything you can steal, including the jeep, cost me less than the top you can knife your way through. So please, if you do steal it, leave the top behind in its like new condition.

My nice things are kept locked up. Motion lights and surveilance cameras hopefully keep people honest. Anything can happen but that's why we have insurance.

I had a friend with a jeep with soft top and half doors. He religiously kept it locked. Even though every window zipped out

Has anyone encountered issues w/scrappers too? I heard things about folks taking anything that can be scrap out of ones yard, i.e hoods clearly not out by the curb, old steelies, bumpers, etc. Of course copper products will be gone in a flash too if not locked up but just random metal 'junk' some folks have in their yards.

Yea those scrappers are a real pita. I've had several bad experiences with them taking things I'm not getting rid of. I think V had a real bad one not too long ago...

if I caught a scrapper on my property I'd call the cops ASAP. Trespassing. that would really piss me off. that said I don’t leave stuff like that out in the front in the open. it's put away ASAP. Got to keep the neighbors & wife happy, the yard can't look like a junkyard.

When the rear in my Tahoe blew, I had taken in apart in my driveway. Had the carrier and gearset sitting on the ground right by the truck and left to go pick up another rear. While I was gone, the wifey noticed some scrappers coming onto the driveway taking my parts! She ran outside and they just used their broken-I-barely-speaka-english, put the stuff down and left. Every time I saw them scouting for scrap after that I would stare them down past my house... they would speed off.  They had gotten really bad for a while, but seem to have let up. Im assuming metal prices went down...
But yeah, sucks what happenned to that Supra... $200k car, not sure Id be leaving it in my driveway without at least something big blocking it in.

1500 HP + Supra + $200,000 = 9 second car... seems like a horrible fail.
My valuable car sits in a garage where it belongs. Good thing whoever is stealing this stuff from NJ is a rice fag.

Pretty sure the car went 8.2x the day it was taken. News of that was kind of overshadowed by the fact it was stolen though...

I wouldn't worry too much, they're usually only after valuable stuff.

200k has got to be a mistake. Either the car did not cost that much or someone made a financial mistake and paid too much. A top fuel car costs less.
