    ^^^ what he said. Also pay attention to your credit, all the info that was needed they had access to. To do the identity theft thing. Leave the cards you have copy ss card, DL and they can get their own credit card. Not saying they did, just that could.

    Even a little dog is a deterant. . .bark bark bark.

    Glad I am a light sleeper and carry a .40 cal S&W.....!!!!!
    My wallet,phone and weapon stay right next to my head at night.

    The ratchet strap between the 2 doors works well too.

    .38 Snub Nose works very well too...

    Also the ratchet strap idea is a good one..I like to put a sheet across and have it only half way up.This will allow me to see them and they can't really see my whole body...
     
    EZ Money Thanks this.

    I think it would be good to train a mountain lion to bring in the truck. I don't think many people would get close to that.

    Am I wrong for feeling I shouldnt have to move all my belongings back into the sleeper with me after I have locked the doors and gone to sleep?



    And great ideas about keep the doors shut after I sleep. I will start using those. I have a 2" strap I can use on the doors. Sad I have to barricade myself in my truck just to sleep safe at night.

    My wife is ex law enforcement and said she wasnt sure about law up there, but here in Florida if I were armed the Stand your ground law would have easily applied and I could have legally aired him out as long as I chose my words carefully when police arrived. I hate a thief enough that I would indeed shoot and kill if I thought I could do it legally. Some people live only because its illegal to kill them.

    Here! Here! The last time I was at the Maxton BP, I was dog tired. I got in there at about five pm to do my 10. In two hours, I was visited by no less than 10 "Lot Attendants". I couldn't get any rest. They were literally coming out of the woods. They nearly beat the paint off the door.So I got dressed, and drove to 74 and parked on the ramp in order to get some rest.
