Probably spotted you on the street, followed you to the store and your tops were gone 30 seconds after you went in.
I worry about mine all of the time.

............i got me a shoplifter the other day with my '72 chevy pickup, he tried to beat me accross the street and i couldn't miss him. He stole some batteries for cooking meth. I've to have a new windshield put in tomorrow, i thought i had killed the crackhead ! Nothing i could do to avoid him, he got released from the hospital the same night, they served papers on him in the back of the ambulance. Now i'm out a windshield.............at least i wasn't in the vette,.... I may have been able to miss him in the vette ! !

Here's a Thought
I wonder if you could modify a trunk monkey to exit from behind the seats and handle the thief? "I gotta get me one of those!"

I have a fiberglass set, but the paint doesn't match and they really need some work. So I'm don't like having them on unless I absolutely need to.

when you get the new one go back and go in to the store but keep your eye on the car and grab them in the act. they mite work that lot more then you think.
