I was parked near a friend's place (in a "good" neighborhood where houses are $400k, ironically), walked up the driveway, and just in 8-10 seconds after I left, there were people out of a car and were reaching for the generator in my truck's bed, stopped by the fact that the generator is held in place with a decent chain/cable assortment. I walked back out, and they hopped in their little Mazda and sped off.Always keep your stuff locked up. Had I just had the thing unsecured, some guys would be scoring a nice wad of meth at their dealer right about now.Lesson for me: Time to consider a truck cap.Just warning people that thieves can come out extremely quickly to steal something if they think it is unsecured.

It happens just that quick. Be aware they may come back with tools.

City dweller. Pretty much got the memo already:(.Last year feeling ultra comfy in my surroundings a junior miscreant stole my I phone 4S @ my campsite. I know it was a 4 since I was thinking of getting a 6 when the summer was over. Also know exactly who the kid was as he called me over the winter to ask me to remove my phone block:R. Sighhhhhhhhh. Long story short it takes all kinds and it's amazing the cojones some walk with. Don't think meth or deprived economic background entered his issues either.

They are learning that if you want to steal the good stuff, go to the neighborhoods where the good stuff is.

Hope you got a plate # and reported it.

Problems of conscience aside, by the time the legal problems you'd have from killing a person snatching a generator are over you'll probably wish you'd have just let them take the damned thing.

And...you are going to shoot someone that you see stealing your stuff?
