Life expectancies for tweekers must go down on average during hunting season, I'd imagine... 100 yards between life and death.

Anybody up for setting up a bait car??  Got my "Any weapon" tweeker tag.  They'll be back...
:yeah: i am always game for fun like that, i cant stand friggin thieves, i fi catch one they WILL be going home with a few less digits  :tup:
my grandpa always said "if it aint broke dont fix it"

Sucks Drock. My brother got busted into along i 90 a few years back bear hunting, then when I was drawn for monroe spring bear, I had a couple motorbikers try busting out my windows (behind a locked gate no less).
Pricks are everywhere. I now leave a note in my window saying I am armed and close by, nothing in the vehicle is worth the risk.

I am very sorry to hear of your troubles, Sir.  Please don't let it burn a hole into your heart.  I got hit myself earlier this year, and I share your frustration/anger/sadness.

Happened to me at that same place. Now I take every thing out of the truck and leave it unlocked. If its nice out I role the windows down. Those morons are not smart enough to check the doors before they bash your window.

I didn't have anything worth steeling in my car.  From now on I will just leave it unlocked.

The terrible thing I have found about leaving your vehicle unlocked, is they will pop your hood and steal your battery.  Ask me how I know  :bash:  As well as other things.  Just keep that in mind.  Crack heads will also cut the fuel line between the tank and the engine and take whatever they can and let the rest run out on the ground.  They also steal catalytic converters if they can unbolt them.  A little JB weld or similar on the top of the bolts/nuts fixes that.

If you are going to leave your vehicle unlocked get a locking gas cap (if you don't have one), and get a battery isolation switch (prevents them from turning on your headlights and having your battery drain down, while you are gone).  At some point, vigilante justice is probably going to make a comeback in a big way...  If I were you I would leave a donor beer on the passenger side floor out of sight but easily found.  If it is gone when you get back you know someone visited your vehicle.  Then at least they find something and move on. 

One of these days it might be nice to setup a HuntWA crackhead roundup...  Baiting completely legal.
