JRW Knife Enthusiast Registered: 07/14/06 Posts: 96 Loc: East Texas	Trail Cams!!! Baseball balls!!! Semi Rural Areas!!! Lock the Cars for Now!!! Now that's a hell of an idea!! How about about an old idea----a GARAGE---put the car/truck in it???? No offense folks, but get real-- if you leave your vehicle out with stuff in it, locked or unlocked, what do you expect to happen???? John Westbrook RKS #4496

Sidney_Redford Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/20/05 Posts: 1621 Loc: Blue Ridge Mtns. Va.	John maybe everyone doesn't have a garage. People have there houses broken into all the time so what makes a garage so special? I say shoot the SOB. _________________________ Sidney Redford NRA Endowment Member RKS #84 NRA Life. Shag # 11

David Knife Enthusiast Registered: 03/04/07 Posts: 871 Loc: Idaho	I have a garage. It's where I keep the motorcycle and the tractor, and all the crap you accumulate when you have four kids. I also have three acres and a long driveway, specifically so I can have some privacy. _________________________ David RKCC No. 654 RKS No. 5462 SHAG No. 003 NRA Life Member www.explorerconsulting.com

Peter_Kaufman Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/14/08 Posts: 2582 Loc: Southeast Utah	David One of my friends has a long driveway and has a sensor that detects when a vehicle enters the driveway which sends a signal inside the house. That way you know someone is coming and can take appropriate action.

New2Randalls Knife Enthusiast Registered: 04/19/07 Posts: 1196 Loc: Kalifornia	My dad told me of his anti theft device he used on his 1939 Packard convertible that he had when he was in high school. He setup 4 Model T coils, positive to the battery and the negative he ground to the chassis, you could use an Accel Super Coil, about 24,000 volts, today. He also had a toggle switch for on/off hidden under the left fender. He said his car was never stolen or broken into, although he did find burnt skin several times on his door handles and there was the occasional loud meow from the local cats that would try to jump up on the car for the warmth. Although, this might be illegal nowadays Dan Snyder #5537 _________________________ It's best to remain silent and thought a fool than to speak up and be proven so!

Captain Chris Stanaback Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/14/05 Posts: 12700 Loc: Central Florida	David, Sorry to hear the news...but you weren't "robbed"...You wre "Burglarized". I have been in the burglar and fire alarm business since the mid 60's (Started when I was 15 crawling attics) and can give you lots of ideas on how to remedy this problem from "ever" happening again..."EVER"! It would take a long-winded explanation but it's doable. In short: get an alarm for your house, each vehicle and add exterior protection to include "passive infra-red/ ultrasonic" motion detectors. The units must have "both" to operate outside or small bugs-n-critters can cause false alarms. Then: 2 electric eyes, hooked in "series/parallel" at a point acroos your driveway the crooks have to (or probably will) pass. They must be over/under one another and be 18 inches and 32 inches from the ground. "Both" beams have to be blocked in order to trip the alarm. There are a lot of "others" but this will get you started. Also: Forget a trail camera, get a real security camera and hook it up to a monitor (old TV will work) inside your house. They don't fail as does a trail cam. Good luck. Best, Capt. Chris PS: Call me for the other 165 ideas to prevent this. Best, Capt.

We will talk after we get through this next snow storm. Ironically, my wife worked from home today and she noticed a guy sitting in his car at the end of the driveway. He took off when my step-son went out to see what he was doing. Stay tuned! _________________________ David RKCC No. 654 RKS No. 5462 SHAG No. 003 NRA Life Member www.explorerconsulting.com
