Sounds like this person is a real amateur. My neighborhood is seeing more crimes lately so I've decided to take action to try to keep them from hitting me. I've installed dusk-to-dawn floodlights around my house and I leave a couple of interior lights on at night. I never leave anything in plain sight in my vehicles and I don't have a daily routine that anyone can "latch" onto. So far, I haven't had any problems. If you park in a publc area, try to park under or near a streetlight; thieves like to work in the dark.
Group: alt.autos.4x4.chevy-trucks Date: Wed, Apr 12, 2006, 2:20am From: snipped-for-privacy@sympatico.ca (Blair) Someone tried to steal my truck tonight. Broke or punched in the passenger side door lock and mutilated the ignition key assembly. I will have to get it toed to the garage tomorrow as it wont even allow the key to go into the damaged slot. Anyone have any good deterrents to the wreched little pukes that steal what others work for? I don't want to put this through insurance as they will no doubt increase my rates over the next few years to recover their losses and more. Any input is appreciated, Blair
