Convertible tops and miscreants

[adoherty@domain.elided (Adam Doherty)]

I have a TR7 that I often keep in Philadelphia for days at a time (in the 
summer). If I go to the movies or wherever Ileave the top down. If I'm 
going to leave the car overnight somewhere, I put the top up (better for the 
top 
and interior, keeps the top in shape and keeps the interior from getting 
dirty--birds etc), but leave the doors unlocked. Never a problem--yet. Oh, 
one night 
some horses-ass did open a door up and take out my hat I usually wear 
when driving during the day. No big deal, but don't leave anything in the 
car that you really want. Having said that, a friend and I in his 308 
left the car parked with the targa top off while screwing around in 
Phila. No problems. One time though at night downtown, some jackass when 
we were in his X19 with the targa top off dropped a semi-full 40oz 
malt-liquor onto the passenger seat. Damnit, thats where I was 
sitting.... Likely a quasi-homeless person? Anyhow, these are all 
experiences from parking either on the street or open parking lot in 
central Phila, a parking garage etc is no problem at all. Outside of the 
city anywhere is never a problem at all--except for maybe a bird or so 
somewhere.

Regards,

Adam
