Plus it's like a bright light to moths who want to peek inside your truck for bangbang goodies, and may be tempted to hurl a rock through a window to find out; screams out, "I might have left expensive stuff in here."
The reason I stopped sticker bombing my back window. I had a Glock sticker on my Silverado a few years back and when the police showed up to take my report they said that was a huge “break into me” notice to theives. Basically saying it was my fault some lowlife broke into my truck.
8 months later the idiot tried to pawn it and I got it back in perfect condition so…

I used to just slap a "Baby On Board" sticker on my trucks. No one wants to deal with that mess.

In San Francisco it didn’t matter what stickers you had on, they threw a rock through the window of every parked car and tossed everything inside, taking whatever they fancied.

I lived in Oakland for a few years. People would just tape signs to their windows saying the doors were unlocked, and leave the glovebox open. Wild place.

Thank god for off-street parking, but my car was broken into once. They stole my battery jump-pack, Gerber multi-tool, and all the spare change.

Totally crazy place.

We lived pretty close to Golden Gate Park and when I walked the dogs through the park, always had to stay on the grass as the sidewalks were covered with safety glass. The saddest story I have from those days was one day I was walking in the park and a youngish girl was standing next to her smashed window car, crying, giving a report to a police officer of the break-in of her car. She was explaining what her dog looked like... :(

Good thing those scumbags didn't cut themselves while breaking the windows, they would've sued you--And won!

Might have been nice to see them get "cut just below the chin" and find their rotting carcass laying next to the vehicle-all bled out! Oh, the Karma would have been sweet tasting!! :insane:

Usually the spot light, bars in the windows, and antenna on the roof scare those scum away... That's if they're even smart enough to know what Magpul is. Lol

And even though those kind of people are everywhere, I typically don't go into the areas where it's a very high probability to happen.

Long ago I knew people that had big stereo systems in their cars and had big decals of "Alpine" or "Rockford Fosgate" on their back window. They'd come rolling into a parking lot with it booming, then come out to a busted window and their system ripped out and taken.

I told them all they're doing is advertising for someone to break in

A couple of days ago the intermittent stumbling at idle or coming off idle returned. Thought I had exorcised that demon because it disappeared a month ago with the new fuel pump. Ran perfectly for several thousand miles and now it’s back.

So I went ahead and changed the plugs and wires today. Fingers crossed. They all looked about the same, nothing out of the ordinary for 13 years old. If that’s not it I’ll throw some Techron in it again.

First drive all smooth. Not counting any chickens yet… but hopeful.

Yeah, I’ve cultivated a look comprised of dirt, dog hair, slobber on the windows and dust. Hopefully any sane person will recognize my Hoe as an unsafe place.

I have added so much alarm stuff to mine it's more secure than my home, it won't stop a smash and dash but I don't keep anything in it that you could take before I could get to it so......good luck, windows are tinted 5% in the back so you can't see anything inside anyway.

I did streech out the Yukon coming home from Iowa, saw 122 via speedo so could be 5 either way. Got her hooked up to the RV, as we are going to Florida end of next week. I have a motorcycle trip now, back Thursday and in the Yukon Friday morning, off south.
