Do you have a brand of that camera? Anything that I can get started
with?


I use a Moultrie, IIRC a D-40. Good combination of cheap, good
pictures, and sensitive motion sensor. Downside is it takes a couple of
seconds to wake up and shoot a pix after it senses motion. Wish I could
hack it to never shut down because I'm running it off AC, but if you use
it off DC you need it to go to sleep for battery life.

There are better one out there, more expensive. Avoid any that do not
date & time stamp the pictures - the cheap ones don't ;(

When I was still going on trips I had a Garmin GPS III
velcroed to the dash. When ever I had to stop and leave the
truck unattended, that is exactly where I put a cap/hat that
was in the truck just for that purpose. You had to look
really hard from outside the truck to realize that there was
something hiding underneath the hat.

I always kept a spare coat, sweatshirt... something commonly
seen in vehicles of little value covering anything of value.
Out of sight always worked for me (knock on wood).

Similar thing happened to some guys my mother knows. They went climbing
somewhere remote, but left some gear and bikes in their van. When they
returned, the gear had been stolen. So the next week they did the same,
but hid near the van. Nothing happened, so they did it the week after,
and the guys broke into the van again, so they grabbed them and took
them to the police.



And then what happened?


I think the response from the police was positive, that is, they charged
the guys, but I don't remember for sure. It goes back to when I was in
high school.

One use might be to show a tracker who to look for since the police
can't do it. A person might find the largest, meanest guys in the
neighborhood and have them track down the perps (and if they serve
justice to the perps, who's to worry?), returning the stolen goods to
you for a reward.

Years ago when I was in the Marines, I had a Staff Sergeant in my department whose friends
in Laurel bay had been burgled.

He did a bit of sleuthing and realized that other Marines had their homes tossed and the
common point is that they all had contacted the MP detachment asking them to keep an eye
on their homes while they were on deployment or vacation.

So SSGT Doyle, decided to set up a sting. Told the MP's that he had a monster collection
of firearms and other valuables and was worried about them due to the recent burglaries in
Laurel Bay and asked them to keep an eye on his place while he was TAD to where ever.

Doyle let his grass grow long and had some of the other Marines that homes were
burglarized over each night to see if lightning struck again. It was the base MP's that
broke in one night. They were met by some angry Marines with firearms that had way too
many beers while playing poker and waiting. The South Carolina state police were called
in. Score one for the good guys. I liked SSGT Doyle. Sorta like Gunner on steroids.
Urrah!



What happened to the burglars?

Anyway. The police officer said that they stay in touch with the three
local pawn shops. I gave him the serial number of the stolen GPS. I
will keep an eye on ebay myself, I set a perl script watch to look for
any GPSes within 25 miles from me.

I personally think that this is a very stupid thing to do in general
and therefore believe that it is local kids who did it.

What a crock,,, "one never feels secure again" BullSH!T.....
Talk about liberal .... Its like "oh I tripped on the stairs, ill never go
up stairs again"... People need to get over it.... My Grandfather used to
call stuff like this experience and then say, " Bet you will never do that
again" but that crap of "Ill never feel secure again" ...... arrrrgggg.

Sorry, my blood boils when I hear that type of thing...

Sorry to hear you lost a GPS. I hate thieves too...

No, that is the true violence of someone breaking into your home or
vehicle. One never
feels as secure again. But some libtard judge would likely view it as a
petty crime if
the criminal is apprehended.

Don, you forgot to ask Ed what secret foam was used for the
super-efficient coolers.


Just ordinary Styrofoam blueboard, 2" thick. I use 1- or 1-1/2" for very
small ones. Have you seen what's in commercial coolers lately? Ha! You're
lucky if it's a half-inch thick.

I've made close to a dozen of these over the years. Mostly they're to keep
equipment from overheating. An old rubbing-alcohol bottle, filled with water
and frozen, will keep all my blood-testing stuff cool for two days inside of
a 8-inch-cube of 2" Styrofoam, inside of a hot car.

I just cut it with a carpenter's saw, and I cut a rabbet in the top and the
lid, with a utility knife, to get a good fit. I keep it closed with a big
rubber band or, for the big ones, a piece of thin bungee cord. Glue the
pieces together with something that doesn't dissolve Styrofoam. I usually
use waterproof Titebond, or Elmer's white waterproof glue.

These things last longer than you'd think if you don't beat them up. I have
a little one I made for film that must be 20 years old.

Bob, that was my comment. I think most will vouch that I am not liberal by todays sense
of the word. People that were going on free and easy not worrying about ripped off have a
mind change, expecially if they can't really afford being ripped off.

I live in a state where if someone is running out of the house with my coin collection, I
can't use deadly force to stop him. SOB can shoot me the finger and leave out the front
door. There I stand in my PJ's, gun in hand, powerless watching my valuables leave. Yeah,
I'm going to feel great every day after that. I can't truely defend my property when I'm
home. So far I haven't been broke in but one time and my mindset is going to change.

Not feeling safe installing or leaving an item of property in your vehicle again is the
effect of that smash and grab. Iggy will change his behavior a bit most likely. Will
always take that look backward, check on his vehical more often, ect.

Maybe I'm not reading you right but the effects are greater than the simple loss of the
property.

I left Diana Rigg out on purpose. We have at least one gent getting his heart back in to
shape and she would have been way too much at this point

I coudn't get the tinyurl to resolve btw.

Wes,
thanks for the reply, that statement is a hot button for me. I apologize, I
should have cooled down a min or two before blasting off!!! I do
understand that the crime will result in changed behavior and that is
understandable. I was reading to much into the statement and as we used to
say back in the day......

I let my mouth over run my ass.

thanks

Hmm, you're right. Click the top middle pic at

size pic.

It's enough to give one a heart-on.

Bob,

Oh, I fully understand the basic sentiment and I've let my fingers fly faster than my mind
a few times also and will most likely do it again.

Make a good day!
