Hi Gregor,

    Its a sad statement to have to say out loud, but your not going to stop
a motivated thief! Over the years I have had several vehicles broken into,
and I have given up trying to stop them. I no longer keep anything of much
value in my car, truck, bus. ( I try to set the limit at my insurance
deducible)
    Also I don't lock it, yes I said I don't lock it! The reason being, the
last time, the A...hole done almost $3500.00 worth of damage for a $150.00
radio. The insurance deducible was $500.00, so I was at a loss no matter
what.
    Hell if he would have called me the day before and ask, I would have
pulled the radio and put on the hood for him. Judging by the face plate
pieces left on the floor and the pry marks on the dash, he ruined the damn
thing getting it out.
    "dat crack make u crazy"
    Keep your goodies at home when your not camping, put a hidden battery
disconnect switch on it and leave the doors un-locked. In the long run
you'll come out dollars ahead!

Good luck.
