There’s only one solution left.

(It’s a dummy so don’t go calling the ATF on me)

ROFFFLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol...TBH..if someone could make a 3D model of this that could fit over the real thing...like a cover, I'd buy it 100%. Not really as a deterrent, but for laughs lollll!

That is nice! Trying to work a deal on a Sarge Rubicon. Tan soft top and tan leather. I really hope it works out.

Maybe you need something like this on your next vehicle.

Thats not a bad idea. I know that nothing is bullet proof, but maybe this will help. Thank you

That’s our plan, and I’m eligible to retire and leave, but we’re having a hard time finding a place to move. Over the last forty years Oregon and Washington have been completely overwhelmed by massive, culture-and-life-changing, migration from California and, more recently, New York and New Jersey , so we were thinking about escaping to Idaho. Unfortunately, the same thing is happening there…and in Utah… and in Colorado. The unique character of the states has been diluted, altered, or completely lost. The cowboy towns of my youth are full of urban yuppies driving Audis and Porsches, and our once pristine and robust hunting and fishing areas are now as crowded as a Walmart parking lot and nearly devoid of wildlife.

Is there a place left that has low crime, functional law enforcement, good hunting and fishing, abundant public land for wheeling, AND a decent climate?

The northern tier of Pennsylvania. I speak from experience.

Full disclosure: "Decent climate" is subjective. We've real winters here (no, Canada doesn't hold the patent on them. ) I'm not bothered by snow, but it may be a turn-off for some. Spring is cool, summers are pleasant, and Autumn is largely a mix of sun and rain.

And you've my empathy regarding the social effects of transient people from New Jersey and New York.

Sub 0 winter Temps were more enjoyable than the summer humidity in the year we lived in the Scranton area. You can keep both. Northern AZ is about as good a climate as you can find at an affordable price and non-yuppie filled. Average summer highs in the upper 80's with no humidity and average winter lows in the 20's with the occasional couple inches of snow that melts off same day. Factor in the requirement of abundant PUBLIC land for wheeling that the OP asked about and I personally don't think PA meets any of the requirements aside from low crime rates?

I use the Apple Air Tags.
It doesn't require any app to be installed like Tile does, but only works with Apple devices.
If someone walks by my car with an iPhone that has Bluetooth on, my Air Tag can report where it was when the person walked by.

To prevent stalking, Apple will alert a person with an iPhone if an Air Tag appears to be travelling with them that is not theirs.
They can then make it beep so they can locate it and get rid of it.
I took the speakers out of mine.

I have 2 in each car hidden very deep. Had to take a lot apart to hide them.

Cost ~$25 each.
Battery lasts ~1 year.

This exactly. Yea it'll beep but if you hide that thing where they have to work to find it, that gives you that extra time to search for where it is before they find it. We do the airtags in our vehicles as well.

One whole year, Zach? Well, that certainly makes you an authority on all things Keystone State.

Thanks for playing.

Pretty much exactly my order, but soft top and MT

Maybe it’s time to get the Trunk Monkey

Always loved the Trunk Monkey.

Or just get a honey badger and leave it in the back seat.

“Of course it’s not perfect and no guarantee of anything. But it’s somewhat better than nothing and it’s not expensive.”

There are about 80,000 people in the city where I live. .36% actively use Tile as of this morning. It is not a foolproof way to recover a vehicle, as I said in my earlier post. It’s just a suggestion I made as to one small thing that could possibly help. Everyone is free to ignore it or disregard it’s potential effectiveness as they see fit.

It's sound, helpful advice for sure.
