Another ridecamper and I were thinking about doing
just that. However, this morning I was told by knowledgeable persons that it
wouldn't be safe, your life could/would be in jeopardy if accidently discovered
by these thugs, and they are far worse than "druggies". So, just don't
leave ANY valuables in your vehicles, tell all your friends, all the riding
clubs etc, let's get signs posted to that effect at ALL the staging areas, keep
your charged cell phone with you and REPORT any suspicious persons/vehicles that
you see. I do lock my truck, but then leave my window down just enough
for them to get in without punching locks IF they really want to, but there's
obviously nothing in it to take and certainly not worth stealing as it's
conspicuously "forest service green".

It sure seems
like since these thieves do exactly the same thing each time that it would
be pretty easy to set up a situation to catch them in the act.
