I love riding with my doors off but hate even going in the store now without them on. Theives these days have gotten alot more stealthy. Heck i have heard of people getting their doors stolen. I used to pull up to the gas station and leave my car running with the doors off (only in my hometown) but since my friends car got stolen doing that i figured it was asking for trouble. i paid around 600 to have a top of the line alarm system installed, with the spare hidden battery in case they disconnected it, ignition lockout if hotwired, proximity sensor, power locks, the works. I had it parked outside my house in the driveway, ran inside to pee. Didnt lock it, i was inside for 15 mins tops, came back to find my seats moved forward, CDs stolen, radar detector still there but the power cord snapped from them pulling on it, CD player still there, and they took a spare key i had hidden behind the glove box. They didnt even take all my CDs, just a couple of cases. The point being, they arent selective on what they steal. They will grab whatever, cause pawn shops usually accept......whatever.
