Sorry to hear this. I guess put your tool pouch behind the seat and keep it locked. Why does the back of the seat lock and not under seat.....unless these thieving sacks of excrement start carrying really big Torx drivers....and how do you make a getaway with a whole back shell, ain't exactly light or easy to carry, if you're going to steal half a roof, why not the whole thing.....the freedom panels take 1 person 1 hand.

On the security drawer side they don't stop a pro but possibly a thief of opportunity. Why I dropped a substantial coin on my Wrangler security drawer glovebox and console from Tuffy considering it spent a significant amount of time with doors off and soft top otherwise.

They stole your unpainted hardtop,,,, really. But left the door and tail gate and hood. Then left the freedom panels. LOL. That top is not in Mexico.

Classic, “Dog ate my homework,” cover story for “sold my top to buy crank.”

Those removable tops are why I'm still on the fence about getting a Gladiator. I'm just starting to look around, and I'm still recovering from the sticker shock at the local dealer. Dumb question but do all Gladiators have the removable tops or is a solid roof available?

No tin top version of the Gladiator available.

All removable. If you want a solid top, buy a Tacoma.

None of this adds up.

I'm in the Houston area. I fish our Gulf of AMERICA coast A LOT. I know our beaches. What beach was she at where an entire hardtop could be stolen and no one notice? That's what I'm struggling with.

Sounds to me like she and her friends probably tried to take the top off, broke it, ditched it, and claimed it was stolen. That's what I woulda done lol.
Fixed it for ya!
