Good thing petty thieves don't know the value of a ScanGauge

Because if they did, I'd be missing one today.

Someone rifled through both the Flea and the ForkenSwift last night. As far as I can tell, the only thing missing is some loose change. They left the SG, and a 15w solar panel sitting on the dashboard of the Flea.

I generally don't lock cars. Made that decision after having a window smashed in Vancouver, B.C. 4 or 5 years ago (they got the parking meter change and my snowboard, which was hidden under some dirty tarps).

Since then, I decided just to be more careful about leaving stuff in the cars. So the thieves can occasionally have my parking meter change, and I get to keep my windows.
