About 10 years back my TJ was parked overnight in the driveway at my in-laws house. They slashed the soft top window behind the driver’s door and reached in to unlock it. They stole the doors and tried to steal my high-lift jack that was mounted on the tire carrier. The jack was hard to get off cause I had flopped the TJ a couple weeks before and the jack took all the impact, bending the mount slightly. I was actually proud of that when I found the nuts on the ground the next morning. I was like, “Sweet, glad I flopped the Jeep so they couldn’t steal that.”
My doors however.... I was beyond pissed off. I was fuming.
Long story short: found them on Craigslist, got the cops involved, they did an amazing job, got my doors back, filed an insurance claim for a new soft top, about 9 months later I got a letter from the justice center that included a check from the perp to reimburse my insurance company for the new top as well as my increased premium.
I was blown away. I could not believe what a great job the justice system did. Apparently the guy got some heavy indictments for the amount of Jeep parts that he was stealing.
I am very thankful to now have a garage that the Jeep is parked in every night. If someone comes in my house trying to steal something, it’s a whole new ballgame.
