Its not a sunroof the entire mechanism including the rear window has to be replaced, the part is a complete unit- being flown in from Germany-+ a full days labor for 2 men--want to get the old roof--may make it a wall hanging or a table.

The Daily Sun should do their next Villagers cars feature on your vehicles. Put a rifle rack on the wagon to ward off thieves.

Concealed weapon . Lots of people have them here. You just don't advertise that fact

Don't waste time worrying. It doesn't prevent bad things from happening. It only prevents you from enjoying the good things.
It seems many people posting on TOTV have lives controlled by fear. Lightning is going to strike my house. A sinkhole is going to open up in my front yard. Some one is going to break into my house and steal all my stuff. An alligator is going to bite me. Somebody's dog is going to poop on my lawn. Flesh eating bacteria is going to attack me. I'll eat the wrong foods and ruin my health. And on and on.
Just my opinion.

You make some very valid points.

I just watched the latest Keanu Reeves movie last night on Cinemax, "John Wick", and the whole premise of the film is this very scenario. Reeves pulls into a gas station to fill up his restored '69 Mustang. The rich son of a Russian mafia boss asks Reeves, "how much", he said it's not for sale. You can figure out the rest from there.

Another post well said! Maybe someone should start a new thread "What I'm afraid of and it ruins my day." Or maybe, "My glass is always half empty." Or, "Your grass always seems to be greener than mine."
I don't think I would have much to contribute to any of those.

Now if it was two classic Corvettes, the OP might have a point.

Its not stealing the cars--home invasion-art, jewelry, cash, antiques & other collectibles--cars are difficult to dispose of--you're advertising wealth
