I'm working a strange shift, heading for work about 0230.

I go out this morning and notice the radar detector cord is hanging down. Detector is gone. At first, I thought it had fallen down.

Then I notice that 2 of my driving gear bags are gone. Damn ... the HANS, suit, helmet, gloves, nomex underwear, shoes ... everything.

That is all just stuff ... what is irreplaceable is the notebook inside the bag that had 3 years of track notes.

This new truck is cursed, I tell you ... I'll have to wait till daylight and the rain to stop to see if the truck itself was damaged.

I guess I'll have to change my habits ... I always have my gear in the truck. Never know when I'll wind up at the track and have an "oppurtunity".

But, depending on what insurance says, my season might have ended before it even began.

I'm really sorry to here about that Mitch. I really hate thieves.

I have a long bed truck and I put most of my racing stuff in a tool box that sits under my roll up tonneau cover, so the tool box can't be seen with the tonneau on. Someone could slash the cover and smash the box to get it open, but they don't know there is a box under the cover. I think if you keep stuff out of sight, it's not in a thieves mind and that is the best deterrent because anyone can get into anything if they want it bad enough.

I thought that until a friend was working on his car one day and tossed a spare set of wheels under his tonneau cover and closed the tailgate. The next morning, the cover was shredded and the wheels were gone. It's odd that his truck was parked at his place forever and the one night he left a set of wheels in there, it got "hit". People don't get that lucky....
