things stolen in Scadden Wash (Quartzsite)
there's a website I'm on that's reported a compressor, brand new in box, a Dish Tailgater that was padlocked and chained to the motorhome, and also a generator out of a truck. All of these things...

We lock up everything at night. We learned at Rincon in Ventura from a RVer next to us. His Honda 3000 was locked with a very heavy cable and lock. The thieves came by when the train passed and cut the cable.
We did pick up a few driveway alarms from Harbor Freight. They have a small motion detector that you can place anywhere and a larger alarm. I have on occasion set it up at Yosemite using 2 units with the same channel. Place the 2 motion detectors a strategic spot around items to be protected and one alarm outside on the roof and the other inside. Never had it go off. You could place one viewing your item(s) needing protection and the other under something of great value like a generator. In the morning, you can shut off the alarms and then go to your protected things.
I should go to Harbor Freight today and buy a bunch and sell them at Quartzsite when we go Monday. They go on sale periodically for $11.95t but I think they are currently $18.99 each.
