my best options are.
I'm thinking about night vision cameras for one. I can get a system
for around $350, but I'm not sure if it's sufficient. Even if I got
video footage, would it be enough to do something? The systems I'm

One thing that concerns me is that one review mentioned that the
cameras put out a faint red glow, making them visible at night. Is
this true of all IR cameras? I'm also considering putting a
wireless video camera in the glove box, so I'm pretty much
guarenteed a decent picture of the face.
The other thing I can think of is putting in a wireless motion
sensor in my glove box (I already own one, and it's X10 so I can
have it turn on a radio/light etc). If I can catch the guy in the
act, that would be ideal.
I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas/thoughts/experience on the

A bear trap on your seat will awaken you with his screaming, that

Yes burglary is against the law.


Yes, and booby-traps are against the law. There are any number of people who
can enter your property without your knowledge or permission.

* Police with a search warrant
* A child who has no criminal capacity
* A firefighter or other emergency responder
* A civil trespasser
* Delivery people, meter readers, letter carriers
* A creditor repossessing property
... and the list goes on



But none of them should be in the car at night unless they are robbing
him of his belongings in the car or of the car itself.
