Cheers. Tap tabletop with bottom of glass, drink. I do it, other people do it. But, why? Where did the tradition start? I've heard many wildly different urban legends, but where did it really begin and what does it mean? Does anyone have written evidence to back up their claims?

Someone asked the question here three years ago, but everyone had a different answer, none definitive.

Yesterday I purchased a GPS and I feel like I need to take some security measures for my car to prevent my electronics from being stolen. Along with the GPS I have an iPod connected to a Harman/Kardon Drive+Play unit, an Escort radar detector, and an older Alpine radio. As it stands, my car is begging for its window to be broken out and have everything stolen.

I have a car alarm, but as everyone knows, they are almost useless.

I could remove every item (radio faceplate, gps, ipod, radar detector) and carry it with me every time I got out of the vehicle, but this is far too much trouble.

Is anyone aware of a security accessory for their auto electronics? I appreciate any help or suggestions.

Questions that are not asked politely annoy me and I tend not to answer them, even if I know the answer. What are your thoughts on rudely stated questions?
