<P>Mine has been broken into 3 times in about 2yrs. It sucks! This last time we lost about $600.00 in camera gear that I had hidden under the rear bench, among other things!. The A-holes were looking for the stereo amp (I'm sure) and found that instead. So heres a hint. mount your amp under the drivers seat. 3 breakins and that has survived them all. Last week I had a Viper alarm installed. Maybe it will help deter them?????</P>

<DIV></DIV>&gt;It seems obvious to not leave a loaded van sitting overnight on any street
<DIV></DIV>&gt;now a days. It seems like a lot of work but a prudent person would unload
<DIV></DIV>&gt;everything overnight and re pack in the morning.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;A friend last night just had his passenger window smashed in and all the
<DIV></DIV>&gt;contents stolen. Sufboard gone, skateboards gone, knee pads gone, luggage
<DIV></DIV>&gt;gone, and a $180 window to be replaced. The saddest thing of all was hearing
<DIV></DIV>&gt;him say "I guess I just can't trust any more."
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;It is one thing to leave a van loaded in a garage or in a driveway
<DIV></DIV>&gt;especially if you have an alarm system that you can hear, but to leave any
<DIV></DIV>&gt;vehicle loaded on a public street with poor lighting?
