I use the red clip fairly often. Its cheap and easy to use and I hate putting the top up every time that I stop somewhere. Some people paint them black to blend into the windshield header but I like the red.

Even though the alarm motion sensor is activated, I still don't leave anything worth stealing out in plain sight. A little common sense can go a long way.

Where can I find a "Red Clip"? Sounds like a good idea...

Got 'em at dealerships for a few bucks...they used to be given away for free a few years ago, by somebody or other. It's just a little piece of plastic, not much more involved or innovative than a big paperclip.

Or if you want to be different (and pay a bit more), you can pick up an orange clip for $5 at Technolab.

Slightly Off Topic

Speaking of vandalism. When on a trip with PCA in Germany a friend left his 911 Targa top off all day at a variety of stops. Nothing was ever touched. That night in Amsterdam he put the top back on before going into the restaurant for dinner. You guessed it. Someone broke the window and stole his radio.
