Re: [RC] another Auburn break-in - LAWRENCEC BENNASCONI
That idea does work, I have an English Mastiff. When we were
researching the breed before we bought one, we read a story about someone going
to a show with their dog loose in the back of a cargo type van. When she stopped
for gas, paid and got back in the van to leave, some one opened the passenger
door and started to jump in, a car jack attempt. The Mastiff lunged forward,
would be thief sees a 200+ pound dog behind them, turns and runs not even
bothering to shut the door. I am bad for being home alone
with my Mastiff and leaving the doors unlocked. Want my TV??? Come on
in, I dare you...
I like the concept of Maryben's 120#
German Shepherd. Or a nice Rottweiler would do.....
Just place above dog in the cab, leave a
crack in the window, and I'd bet no one would bother your truck. Even a
small "land shark", the Queensland Heeler could do the job.
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.
