Tis' the season for the low-lifes to start stalking cars along the rivers. Perhaps a phone call to local law enforcement reminding them to start increasing patrols around popular areas wouldn't hurt.
-
does anyone here do anything special to deter break ins?
-

-

Don't leave ANYTHING visible to theives.
No change, reciepts, coffee mugs, jackets, anything.
Maybe I have been lucky but I have never had my vehicle broken into on the river. I have parked beside vehicles that I have been able to see into and seen loose change, extra fishing gear, jackets and such. I hope by having nothing visible, a theif will pass my truck up and hit the other car that he may be able to get something out of.

Did that EXACT same thing (I always do) and I still got broken into on the Vedder in late July. I even heard my car alarm going off and I got back to the car in a few minutes to find a window smashed and my driver door damaged. >:( Nothing stolen.

bring a dog and leave him in the truck ;) make sure he either is or seems like the type to bite

Print out a piece(s) of paper that says "Smile, you're on camera!", tape it on your window(s). Drug addicts are paranoid. Chances are they'd think you might be videotaping them.

Don't even leave your insurance papers, which have your address on it. My papers were stolen along with my garage door opener to my parkade. Some thieves are looking for more than just quick cash.

thank for the laugh EMAC, they will just break in looking for the camera and stuff LOL
we had someone break into my dads car a few years back and all they took was some change and left the rod/reel combo sitting there.

Silex-user FTW.
Nothing deters thieves more than a face full of buckshot ;D

saw a car broken into on the west side of keith wilson bridge (NOT on dyke); it was parked infront of the emergency vehicle access just off the road.

Annual Reminder to theives:
I own two Large Wolf Hybrids.
My vehicles and boats are equipped with GPS chips.
I am a Lifetime Member of both the NRA and NFA.
I have involved with IPSC (International Pistol Shooting Competition) for well over 20 years, and know EXACTLY what I am doing with them.
I have a lot of Buddies who are Mounties.
And there is a Booby-trap whenever I walk away from any of my rides.
Bring it on FOOL! ;D
Cheers,
Nog

Drive a vehicle shittier than the thieves. They will take pity on you. Last year they broke the window of the car parked behind mine. I almost expected them to tape a loonie on my window with a "hey buddy, go buy yourself something to eat." note.
Thanks to all the folks that parks close by with the fancy vehicle that screams "break me" ;D

who Nog..you really Booby-trap your vehicles when you leave them? That seems a little extreme. I like the idea though...Maybe a note saying the car is booby trapped will suffice?

this may sound stupid but ,what i did is get 4 unused diapers soak them in soy sauce then rewrap them like your going to dispose them ,but leave them exposed on a plastic bag in the front or back seat.trust me it sure deters people and it works ;) ;D no one likes the smell of sh*t, so they think ::) :o

Now that's original. :) :)

a kinife in the back would do the trick if someone even touched my car, be bad news for the unlucky bugger. I think it would be a great idea to bait a car, make a fishermens bait car, and have about ten guys sitting in the woods, once some fool tries to break into the car, everyone will have to break him.

LOL! My wife is sitting here beside me and laughing as hard as me!
