Bernie, having problems with the neighbors?
Well, with a few thousand bucks worth of radio gear installed now, and a recent rash of truck break-ins in the area, it's the smart thing to do.
Mostly with the truck break-ins they're going for unlocked vehicles, and only taking things that aren't difficult to get out, like GPS units and other portable electronics that get left in vehicles. My neighbor across the street got hit twice in the past six months, but he never leaves any outside lights on at night and it's dark as a dungeon over by his place once the sun goes down.
My place, on the other hand, is lit up well enough at night to play softball, and the truck sits between two lights flanking my garage door and under a 150 watt mercury vapor yard light, so there's no darkness there to cover any unfriendly actions. But, still, I did have that unexplained broken passenger side door handle a couple months back. It didn't look like a break-in, no tool marks of any kind, but still...
My place is lit up pretty good also...BUT...
They still came and broke the passengers side window in my truck and got my laptop the other day.
SORRY THIEVING BASTARDS...
I hope somebody shoots their sorry ass...


man it would help if there was a know fix for this issue
