kacie - I'm sorry - that sucks!

Can you get some type of locked metal box bolted to the inside of your car? Then you could put your valueables in there and leave the car unlocked. That way, at least you don't have to do car repairs each time it happens.

When I lived in Boston, that's what I had in my Jeep. I NEVER locked my doors because my soft top cost more than anything I had in the car. I figured I'd rather they just open the door over cutting through my top! Plus, when you leave the doors open, I think they figure you have nothing of value anyway.

It happens a lot at hiking trail heads as well. Theives figure it'll be awhile before you are back, so they have time to get what they want and get away....
