Default Re: Protect your rigs as you travel south..............

Some very good suggestions in this thread.

Something that would surely be beneficial would be using a LoJack kind of device, or a GPS of some sort so that if the rig was stolen you could notify the authorities and they would be able to track it down.

I have never used one, but I recall a guy on another racing forum told about how he and his coworkers 'watch' their freight being shipped from NJ to FL with a Lo Jack kind of device.

I had a friend 10 years ago that used to repo cars......and he had a pick up as described above with the hide-away boom in the bed. A flick of the switch the tailgate went down, up goes the boom and in a minute or less most of the time he was in tow with the car.

He also would get the key codes on alot of vehicles up for repo and he would punch out a key while we were in the truck. I have no doubt that more than a few professional car thieves have access to the same codes and can drive away with the rig with no signs of forced entry, and no security guys getting suspicious.

What is next......racers hiring armed guards to watch their rig so they can get some shut eye?
