Level 1 noob here - do I lock my doors?

[dudewithajeep]

I just ordered my first wrangler - and my first convertible... Sounds kinda silly.. but do I just never lock my doors because it's not as secure? Is that a thing?

No why would you not lock your doors? Especially in this day and age.

idk, just saying if it's a convertible and the top is down/ windows off... why would I lock it... right?

No, and if someone has a ticket, your supposed to give them the keys. Yeah I would locking the doors sets the factory security system.

If the doors are also off, I get your point. But as someone already stated, for the sake of the alarm system, I would lock the jeep. The alarm doesn’t only lock the doors, it also fully disables critical components and activates security systems including a digital immobilizer, making hot-wiring the jeep practically impossible.

When I go to a high crime area or when I leave my vehicle at a trailhead I take my old truck. I don't leave anything inside worth stealing and I don't want to pay for a broken window. I do not lock the doors... true. You don't have windows so you are fine... j/k. : )

You should lock, will bypass the thieves trying to open doors in a parking lot. Rarely will they cut your top. But then I did get a window knocked out for an empty amazon box I left in.

I have a hard top but I've spoken to a few soft top owners and they basically don't leave anything worth stealing and try to keep things locked up in the center console or glove compartment or not visible especially in areas of questionable feeling or reputation. Some don't lock their doors cause they'd rather not have someone rip the soft top to get in.

Depends on you honestly. Not sure how hot Wrangler doors are on the illegal parts market but I'd be more concerned about someone knocking off my doors if I didn't lock them. They are so easy and quick to remove even without power tools.

This is my fifth convertible. All parked outside in Southern California. Never had anything stolen. I lock my doors and I set my security system.

Always lock your doors...Kids often try doors just to see if they are open, also in this day and age you might come back to your vehicle and find some homeless person has climbed in for a nap...

If you live in the zip you state in your profile, loose the top, it never rains there, get a kill switch, and a man bag, cause your not going to ever leave crap of value in your jeep.

kill switch is a good idea, these things disappear a lot in LA.
