    What about placing stickers on the window of the vehicle stating:

    "This vehicle protected by Smith and Wesson".

    Shoot close to your car. Sleep with your equipment.

    I only bring what I will be able to carry with me, and leave nothing of value in the car.

    The Pacsafe is something that would beg to be beaten with a tire iron just for the inconvenience.

    Any thing left in a car is is at risk, even with the roll out. The first time someone sees the roll out in action they know there is a hoard of goodies in there. They know about out of sight out of mind too and rummage around.

    Don't leave it in a vehicle is the only peace of mind answer. If you can't then you must weight the risk and accept the consequences.

    Trying to be clever? Not so good thinking. Just google "securing stuff in the car" and you will read something familiar - if you are or not a member of "this forum"...

    I don't care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members.

    If I want be sure I sleep in the car, otherwise I take all in to my Hotel room, or visa versa if I'm camp in my tent I put almost all important in my car which is just 1m from my tent!
    So it depends a bit, but in the tent I'm almost somewhere in the pampas where I'm almost alone!

    Cheers Armin

    One more idea Ed, You could affix a blinking LED to the dashboard to suggest that you have a security system.

    Re: Securing stuff in the car

    a Knaack box, used by construction workers who leave tools onsite. It can be bolted to the car's floor. I installed one in my minivan after a brick through the window, during a broad daylight, busy downtown lunch resulted in all my Hassy equipment finding a new home.

    It still sits in my basement and is used as a lens (and other valuables) safe when we leave for extended periods, or we have new neighbors that we haven't vetted fully
