Theft issue
I had a soft topper on a Tacoma for years and never had a theft problem. Camped all over the eastern U.S. It's really like anything else - if a thief wants in, they will get in. The bad guys are always ahead of us.
As far as lifespan and durability, with the advanced materials and glues/gluing methods out now, I would imagine there's a good chance of it lasting a while.
Of course, I would take it off when I didn't need it just to extend it's potential. However, the sun and weather can beat just about anything down eventually.
I do think it's pricey compared to hard shells that everyone is familiar with. Maybe they should have shot for a lower price point to entice buyers.
Just my opinion.
