During the Australian winter we are in the wilderness to produce
content for our website. No worries in the middle of nowhere - the car
is safe. But it's different on camping grounds, especially at popular
tourist spots. A clever thief seeing me heading for track with a sign
saying '4 hours return' can go through my car with leisure. He can
take thousands of dollars worth of camera equipment. What to do? I
asked police about the best car alarm. Answer: for a professional
thief - there is none.
Before I leave the car now, I decorate it with dirty underpants,
snotty handkerchieves, lots of socks with holes in them. I make the
car look like a revolting cartoon.
So far, I have been lucky. It seems to work. Thieves want your
belongings, not you dirt.(Don't tell anyone).

Where I camp there are black bears, and they break into cars. Having
assorted stuff in the passenger compartment might lead them to believe
there might be food.
However - since there are bears, there are also bear boxes. While
public boxes at trailheads aren't supposed to be locked, it should be
perfectly acceptable to place one on a box at a reserved campsite. |
