Are they being stolen out of your Jeep? Because, if so, I would point out that most vehicles use certain devices called "doors" and "a roof" to prevent unwanted access to the interior...

I keep ... KEPT ... them in the locked trunk. Not completely secure, but still a bit of work to get them out when the top is down because you'd actually have to LIFT the folded top up to get access.

I was just wondering what made flashlight thieves so despicable as compared to regular ordinary thieves.
And, this is probably a question I'm going to regret asking, but why would thieves go to that much trouble to steal flashlights when they could just steal your Jeep?

Perhaps it says something about the Jeep.

Yeah, the fact that all the cops in town know it and me by sight wouldn't be a factor. It is a rather distinct looking Jeep, you know? "What color Jeep got stolen? Blue-grey with a yellow grille? Damn, that's the third one today!"
Mucus: "ordinary" thieves leave me alone. Although, I'm really referring to a specific item they are stealing and not the specific type of thief.

Well, I'm guessing that either the torches are visible, or jeeps are known for being easy to get into so it was people just trying their luck.

Jeeps are easy to get into, when the soft top is on. Of course, if the top isn't on at all, well, it's your own damn fault for leaving valuables in your Jeep with the top down
Of course, when the hardtop is on, it'd be like any other vehicle. A little harder, actually, seeing as where Jeep hardtops have plexiglass windows. (I think. Jeff?)

Of course, the police might just belive that you are such an amazingly cool person, Jeff, that you've caused others to go and buy the exact same jeep you have in order to share in your greatness.
Any reason why they haven't nicked the radio?
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.
