So I don't drive my jeep very often--just when I need to haul something or I go wheelin. The last time I used it was Saturday afternoon when I picked up a few bags of topsoil and mulch. I backed it in the driveway and unloaded it and it has sat there since then (3 days)
I go out to start it today and nothing. I figure I have a loose connection so I pop the hood and sure as **** BOTH connections have come off. Seems weird, but people like baseball so obviously stranger things have happened.
The terminals are all the way down by the side which makes even less sense. I start to move the them back over the posts and something isn't right. They don't reach.....and the bracket I had holding down the battery is half off and twisted sideways.....the battery is backwards! It is 180"* Someone has disconnected and removed my battery, and put it back backwards!
Why would they do this? My first thought is to disable the factory alarm, but for what? The deck, amp, and tools are still sitting there in plain view.
There is only 1 key to my jeep, it's on my key ring. I live alone. I didn't notice if my door was unlocked when I got in, but I think it wasn't. I can't for the life of me figure out what happened. Either someone is messing with me and has way too much time on their hands, or my neighbor (whom I don't really know) borrowed it for some reason without me knowing--but why would they do that?
