Re: [Amc-list] AMX stolen



I'll add to this.
My workshop has a keyed deadbolt so that even if they break the window in the door it won't open.
I know I should ditch the window, but like the light!
I have further complicated matters fro the walkthru door.
It has 3/4" plywood screwed AND GLUED all the way around it. No molding inside, just the plywood!
Kicking that bugger inis going to hurt someone!
The inside of the rollup which is metal and has no windows. has a Padlock. No key kept around either.
Don't leave the keys in the car in the shop!

Oh, they can still find everything they need to steal the car, but they'll be longer than they planned on!
Toggle in the car.
Battery on the bench in the winter, so I can charge iit every now and again.
Yeah, they'll be a while!

I hope!
