Best protection against theft.

Obviously having good insurance is the best thing. Anyone use anything else that has been reliable?

 

Park inside your garage. (I live in the land if tweaker thieves and lenient judges)

Buy a Sabellco tailgate lock stat.

Get a spare tire lock.

 

Glock

 

Truck came with a tailgate lock so I should be good?
Tweakers don’t come around when I’m Home I live in farmland so they like to come when no one is around (dogs do the trick to keep them at bay)
It’s mostly when I’m out surfing rural or populated areas with the occasional tweakers den in the bushes/beaches

We to have lenient judges.

 

I use a club on the steering wheel as well as factory alarm & locks. only thing in sight is hat/ shirt/ box of Kleenex. spare is on no-window cap locked to bed w/ cable.

 

if you are within glock distance, why need one? when our things own us, we need to rethink.

standard argument: would you go to jail for your "things"?

well .. . would you?

 

Locking gas cap, hard tonneau cover, and i’m thinking about adding a glass break sensor to the factory alarm....

 

Reevaluate your living situation

 

Wrong. We work hard for our paychecks that allows us to purchase toys for our children, cars, houses, guns, Smart TVs, laptops, etc. The fact that another lazy idiot can/will steal YOUR belongings without repercussion is what needs to be "re-thought."

Yes. If you are NOT willing to protect your belongings, WHY own them? WHY have locks on your cars and houses? WHY build fences around properties? The list goes on. WHY would I have to go to jail merely by protecting MY hard-earned assets? For putting a Glock in some Tweakers face? They respect that Glock. Last Christmas I put a Glock 26 in a Meth-heads face and he instantly became a law-abiding citizen, even apologizing. Not going to get into it, but it involved my Tacoma. If your thought process is that the Police exist to protect YOU and your things, then you are wrong. The Supreme Court of this great land has ruled on many occasions that it is NOT the responsibility of any Police Department to protect YOU or your stuff. Many courts have backed up this thinking:

-In Warren v. District of Columbia (1981), the D.C. Court of Appeals ruled, official police personnel and the government employing them are not generally liable to victims of criminal acts for failure to provide adequate police protection... a government and its agents are under no general duty to provide public services, such as police protection, to any particular citizen.

-In Bowers v. DeVito (1982), the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruled,[T]here is no constitutional right to be protected by the state against being murdered by criminals or madmen.

-Castle Rock v. Gonzales, 545 U.S. 748 (2005), was a case decided by the Supreme Court of the United States, in which the court ruled, 7-2, that a town and its police department could not be sued under 42 U.S.C.§1983 for failing to enforce a restraining order, which had led to the murder of a woman's three children by her estranged husband.

-In its landmark decision of DeShaney v. Winnebago County Department of Social Services (1988), the US Supreme Court declared that the Constitution does not impose a duty on the state and local governments to protect the citizens from criminal harm.

-Hartzler v. City of San Jose. In that case I discovered the secret truth: the government owes no duty to protect individual citizens from criminal attack. Not only did the California courts hold to that rule, the California legislature had enacted a statute to make sure the courts couldn’t change the rule.

See above.

 

I will come on visiting day.

 

What's Glock distance?

 

it's metric 'n' chit

 

A manual transmission

 

The only theft protection I use is foregoing the storage of anything valuable in my truck. I figure I can’t really stop a thief willing to break a window.

 

A few years back on my old car I had an alarm system. I removed the siren and added a pager (yeah it was a while ago) then I combined that with GLOCK. my vehicle got broken into once and nothing was taken, because while they were looking for stuff I stepped up behind them and asked what they were doing GLOCK in hand... Only thing they left with was dirty underwear.

The newest most effective vehicle theft deterrent I have seen is a Manual Transmission, most thieves are getting younger and don't know how to drive those...

 

Throw a hand made sign on the seat says:
WARNING TO RIDERS:
DRIVER IS COVID POSITIVE.

 

"Please wash hands after trying to steal something"

 

'Cept your average tweaker,
1) Can't read.
2) Won't read
3) Thinks Corvid is a lottery game, and being you're positive means you're a winner. Must be lotsa dough in this here truck.
Never mind. Prolly a bad idea.
