Title: Annual reminder on break-ins.
Post by: bentrod on September 19, 2010, 08:51:21 AM
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.

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.

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.

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?

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.
