As a female I take my seat belt and hook it through the door handle and lock it. That's what I do every night I park. Then I also have a baseball bat in the truck and a can of insect repelant spray (the large can you use for the back yard). I never had any problems from the mechs complaining when I turn the truck in for PM's.

You are all armed by law with a Fire Extinguisher, one the greatest weapons you can have at your disposal. A blast in the face with a fire extinguisher will drop any human way faster than any bug spray and does not require you to get as close as you would have to when employing a tire thumper, 5th wheel hook or a baseball bat to take a person to task. I would not use it if I were in the sleeper compartment as it would in-compassionate you as quick as it would your attacker.
