I simply do not worry about someone breaking into my car. If they want to break in, they will do it, hardtop or not. Its just as easy to break into a hardtop as it is a convertible. A welders chip hammer will break out a side glass window just as fast as a knife can cut the top. I keep my insurance premiums paid and dont worry about it. > >-Chris >'96 900 S 5-door hardtop Tim, having better things to worry about than rolling over in a convertible.
