Hi List, I always leave my 76B unlocked and top down. I am always pleasantly
surprised that no one has rifled through the glove box or arm rest looking for
valuables. My cheap radio is wired loose under the driver's seat,hoping that
theives wouldn't ruin my dash to steal it. One day I was at a canoe show in a
place called Merrickville and left my top down. It started to rain cats and
dogs. By the time I got back to my MG someone had already put the top up for me
:).

Heh, yeah. I leave two pairs of Sunglasses, an assortment of spanners, tune
up tools, sunblock etc in the pockets of the MGA doors. Heck I even leave
loose change in there!! In the boot I have so much stuff I can't recall
everything, and the boot doesn't lock either. I never park it anywhere with
the top up unless it's raining as THAT is an invitation to slash the hood.
The car is so conspicuous that no one in their right mind would try stealing
anything from it, at least thats what I tell myself. ;) Touch wood!!
The only time anyone has gone near it was to stick a note on the seat saying
'Nice Car!'. :) Yes, I think thieves prefer the lower profile, common or
garden variety cars, or if not, at least ones worth REAL $$$$! :) It's very
nice not having to worry about the MG getting stolen or damaged. Worst thing
that happened to me was when someone stole the AA badge off the front of my
GT. That hurt, it was my Grandad's..
Cheers,
Neil
