That is my approach as well, I do like to park my car as close to the
motel as possible in a well lit area.
Not too hard to unload it.

Thanks for all the great suggestions on alarm systems for my TR4A. My conce=
rn is more about preventing someone from stealing something out of the car =
when while we are parked somewhere on the road. I was originally planning o=
