It reads:
"Dad, I'm just up the hill where I can see the truck. I will come down when I see you back at the truck"
I have sat way up on a hill where I could see our truck and watched people stop next to it, read the note and haul butt. :chuckle:

and after I got done with YOU, I would paint you pink and drop you off in the middle of town...

I have a pre-printed note I stick in the window.Be funny if 5 rigs at the trailhead had the same note. :chuckle:
It reads:

That is a great idea by-the-way

I have had some bad luck.. 1 window broke over the years (left the car locked with a sleeping bag in the back) and I've had the car gone through a few times when left unlocked.
For high buck I leave nothing in there of value. I've thought of laying out some condoms on the seats just to discourage browsing.
A rumor that went around was that there was a pretty organized group that was specifically targetting high end gear not just dash board change etc. I leave nothing in there except some extra food and warm clothes and a bit of emergency gear (harbor freight quality tools etc)

I've heard about variations of that, just up the road target shooting...etc :chuckle:

That note idea is a sheer brillance, or a note saying " Ill be back soon, just left the rig", I've personally never had any issues and I've left my rig in a spot for many a days. One day while scouting I did come out to find four individuals from south of the border looking around my truck, I've never been so thankful for my 10mm and even more thankful that I didn't have to use it They saw me coming and quickly jumped into their van and boogied, puckered my you know what.

I heard the $$ on the seat too. I used to know a guy with soft top Vette. He left a note saying it was unlocked, please don't cut the roof..

my friend hunted in the goat rocks and was packing a bull back to the trail head loaded up the horses and gear and someone had stole the bateries out of his power stroke and it was midnight they had to sleep in the cab till morning and walk till they got cell signals and wait hours for help
So someone broke in, unlatched the hood, and all they stole were the batteries? Wierd...Meth heads love batteries!

If you where to drive in this

Friends of mine went up a trail at Greenwater for an overnight camp trip & had their rear window broken in and truck contents stolen. The next weekend he went with a different friend and drove his truck since my buddies wasn't fixed yet. Needless to say the rear window on that truck also got broken in at the trail head. I would not ever leave a vehicle, best to get dropped off. Mike
I would love to find these dirtbags that break into all these rigs. Hopefully before they steal the shovel out of the back as I will be using it.

what about one of them realistic looking police badges. just lay it on the dash so they can see it but not read it lol could work have never tryed it though
You would think, but when my truck got broken into last they made it a point to steal my badge and wallet (they were separate). Left behind a brand new, still in plastic wrap box, set of Leupold Binocs, but just had to have that badge. I think someone did it just as an F U.
When I was a kid my grandpa would always pull up to the trailhead and leave his door halfway open while he'd hunt from dawn til dusk. He always told me that if the door is wide open most people assume that the owner is just in the woods taking a leak or something. Never had a problem.

Find people are more apt to mess with your vehicle on state or private timber company property than forest service property.
Likely because the forest service makes a trip (daily) to FS trailheads to ticket cars without a FS pass.

A person could hide a trail camera nearby and maybe get a picture of the thief.
I typically place a trail camera watching my vehicle when I hit the backcountry. I have been gone for days and have not had a problem yet. I am sure one of these days I will be hit, unfortunate but it happens.
