    If you cant get a camera in there-post NRA stickers and station a nasty dog in there overnight.

    I would say ...hey you got no style in you,as I always drive old bangers.but I agree with you it must be a bad feeling ,when you the victim.I remember once,having another old banger,the petrol thingy was not working ,so I had to count the miles ,for filling up.well one nite some dodo broke into it,hotwired the ignition and when the lights came on,on the dash,it showed empty of petrol,as usual.hehehe they never took it !!! Ever since I try to break that in every car I own as I find it is the best anti theft device.

    id sent up cameras all around the property to make sure he can be seen at any angle and to make sure that the license plate will be able to be seen- yes the cost up front will be alot but if you plan on doing more rentals than you can set up the cameras everytime- also hide them and dont have them out in the open- also if you want the crooks to know put up stickers that say you are on camera- like i said the cost up front is a lot but it will save you money in the future and it might pay for it self now

    I'm thinking several 5-hour energy drinks and a 12 gauge pump with double aught buck. That should do the trick!

    Get one of those Deer Cameras, that automatically take pictures when something comes around..If you disguise it some how , that would help too.

    The picture would be legal in Court?
