I was laying awake last night about 1:45am and heard a noise. I believe it to be a car door. I didn’t think too much about it until I noticed what sounded like a vehicle idling out front. That sparked my interest. I went to the front windows and saw a Jeep (2 door) with lights off parked at the bottom of my driveway. I ran back to my bedroom for a quick second, and then turned the lights on to my driveway so I wasn’t heading out in the dark. Lights obviously spooked whoever was out front, and they hopped in the Jeep and sped down the road. I’d do a few things differently next time-truthfully I was surprised at the situation and didn’t put my best plan together.
My question (very long winded) is this: is there something that is commonly stolen from Jeeps that I need to be aware of....and possibly secure? I can’t see them taking my wheels and 37” tires to stuff in a 2 door Jeep, and unless they are a pit crew-the bumper takes time. My JT was locked and has a hard top-so I don’t see them stealing it. I’m THINKING they wanted to see if it was unlocked, or something in the bed-but I think I startled them before they could do too much. First time Jeep owner, and looking for input into anything I’m not aware of yet.
Thanks for reading!
Here is a video of my neighbors camera pointing at his driveway. It got the headlights coming on, and Jeep speeding away. It’s motion activated, so it didn’t get any action on my driveway
