I figure my insurance (full coverage, have it) would replace the roof if it was slashed, but it'd be harder to get them to pay out for theft or whatever if I admitted the car was left unlocked.
My insurance company suggested that I never lock the Miata, their reasoning was that there is nothing more valuable to replace than the soft top if someone really wanted to get in. That being said, I've always locked mine and a couple weeks ago my Miata was broken into with the hardtop on. Seems you can separate the glass from the window seal far enough to unlock the door if you are trying hard enough.
