Ahh yes, I forgot about that side of owning a soft top in a big city.

Last one I had was a VW Rabbit convertible when I was going to school in Ottawa. I never locked it in the city and always took the coil wire with me.

I have an aunt with an A4 cabrio in Ottawa -- someone went in her underground parking area (unsecure) and knifed her roof to steal parking change.
