Here in Texas, section 30.05 of the penal code states that purple striped poles are the same thing as a no trespassing warning sign. It isn't good for anyone to ignore either of those items.

My defense is to store my rig a number of miles from an interstate, and miles from a paved road. Few thieves will jump a locked gate that has prominent purple striped posts in rural Texas in order to look for goodies. Even the meth heads are not that obviously suicidal.
Storing a rig in Austin, I'd do a totally different tactic. All televisions would be popped off the racks and put in drawers so if they vanish, they vanish, and don't take a wall with them. I'd also probably leave a dead TV or other thing in the storage compartments, a concept similar to mugging money, since a tweaker is less likely to trash a rig if they snatch something than if they are empty handed.
Just curious......I'm at a lose......What is the significance of purple striped poles? Does that mean something special in Texas? I'm just not familiar with this and would like to know.
Also, the dead tv so they won't trash the place is a clever insight. I hadn't thought about that before. Thanks

Where were these thieves that can remove a tv in 30 seconds when I needed mine taken out - took me and kid well over an hour. Could have used a thief then (and he'd have been welcome to the bloody thing).

People showing how they deter (read deter) theft helps other people which is what this forum is about.
