Securing items under your bunk

if the truck is in the shop i have my computer and phone with me
as i wait in the motel
they can steal my dirty underwear

 

Exactly cause if they steal them they are nastier than I am for leaving them.

 

Photo/video everything with a time stamp, if possible. Or bring it with you. Most places won't take anything though. It's pretty rare for a mechanic to steal anything from a truck, but it does happen. Happened to me at a company terminal once.

 

I usually take my tv down and GPS and put it under my bunk and in a cabinet

 

Best thing to do is don't bring anything of value that you can't carry with you while trk is in shop.When you leave the trk for say an hr to eat and take a shower.Put your valued items out of site and lock your doors.'ve never had anything stolen.

 

i just leave my valuables under my mountain of full and leaking piss bottles

 

Phew! I thought I was the only one to pee in bottles and leave em

 

I used to think people were stealing all my stuff all the time. Then I would find it later. Boy was I pissed by all those thieves for stealing it and then putting it back later to mess with me like that.

Never have had anything stolen. Can it happen. Yea I suppose. Hell I rarely lock the truck doors when leaving it to go inside the truck stop. Over the weekend yea I lock it. Sleeping yea I lock it. Most times? Naw. I use banks so it very rare to have anything like money laying around, don't ware expensive jewelry, important papers are at home. So if I bought a safe it would be empty. The again a empty safe is a good distraction away from your money laid up under your clothes. LOL Its a good idea but its one that most have no practical use for.

 

When I'm sleep I learned to run your seat belts through the door handles no ones getting in
