dear concerned

Thieves are looking for two things ...
bling --
opportunity--

i do two things to minimize the possibility of assault on my vanagon
space...
i put up the privacy curtain between the snaps behind main cabin seats --
this prevents the look in people -
i pull the curtain across the sliding door window --
and when in any sort of area that is not home turf to my vanagon --
i pull the back window curtains shut too--
yes it takes me a minute to put all this away --
but i have a diesel and must wait for at least 60 seconds anyway --

aww F&@& i dont want to do ALL THAT ---

well ok that is your choice --
but i know the heart ache of vanagon violation -- it is very unpleasant --
and sad ---

the second problem i eliminate by being absolutely crazy about locking doors
--

the only time in my life i have ever been broken into ...
a passenger left my door unlocked when they got out
the passenger was a permanent passenger person who did not make any effort
to lock the door upon exit--
and silly me --
i had just returned form 3 months driving all over the usa with my wife and
had become accustomed to my passenger locking up on exit
since then i sometimes get up in the middle of the night just to do a
security check on the doors --

no intrusion since --
one of my good friends wants me to pick up a single barrel BARKER LONG
another pal advocates large dog
another pal favors both --
hmm maybe in the future ...
after i learn better Barker care and use
and when we have K 9 space

Yours
