    When I was over the road I brought out a Taylor big baby and kept it in the case with the dehumidifiers one in the sound whole and one under the head stock and just layed pillows around it so it wouldn’t move around

    I bring along a nice little Epiphone Junior electric guitar and a little Vox amp. I wish I had the time or energy to play it!

    Gonna need more then locked doors to keep your truck from getting broke in to.

    If people want in. It only takes one swing at the window and they're in.

    Not only are you broke in to. Now you gotta replace a window.

    I never bothered with locking my older cars. I didn't want to add the cost of a window to the cost of replacing the radio they always kept taking. That crap got old really fast.

    I generally don’t go to bad areas like that for the night I’ve never had my truck broken into I’m with it all the time unless I go home on that case I’m in a good neighborhood and still take all my valuables with me. I run out west mostly. I just don’t park in sketchy areas

    I live in a good area. Leave nothing in my car. My radio still gets stolen. The difference between locked and unlocked. I save myself the cost of windows leaving the doors unlocked.

    My last 2 cars have remote locks and alarms now. They also have radios that are matched to the car. Stealing them now would be useless.
