I have an idea. Let's have a thread all about car break ins/incidents at THs. Just the facts, no debate. I think it should be stickied in this subforum. Right after this post I'll do a sample one so you can see what I'm thinking.

The idea for this thread is to discuss whether or not a thread documenting breakins would be a useful addition to the site.

What no trip report? I thought there would be a TR. Maybe this should be in the TT section.....
No reason to muck up the TR section with stickies.

I think a thread with breakins will be quite interesting. might actually turn into a resource, if a little discipline is applied. no trip report, that will just add clutter to the thread.. make a separate post for trip details. otherwise it's breakin at thus and such, followed by a page of pictures and gee whiz and lookit dat, oh yeah and a break in, then another trip report... and note of a break in....
i think jus de facts....keep it simple so it reads fast

If there was a thread that I could check up on to see if a particular trailhead had a nasty history of breakins, I would definitely use it. I would either decide not to park there or to clean every last thing out of my car and leave everything open to anyone looking in so that (hopefully) they wouldn't waste their time smashing my windows. I think it would be a useful resource.

I think it is a good thing to have it. That way we can plan a good booby trap for the bad guys ! I just think the TT section is better for it is all.

...going through some of my notes. Already in 1999 broken window glass on Monday morning was not an uncommon occurence at various trail heads such as Rachel Lake, Granite Mountain, Lake Serene. Just recently at Headlee Pass

Sounds good to me. The post should include the approx date of the break in too.
My to do list now includes getting some clear plastic and duct tape to prepare for the inevitable. I'll keep it in the car.

Not sure how a car break in info would be useful. I would not change hike plans because an area gets hit frequently. If so, I would have quit hiking 3rd beach ions ago. And I would take no additional precautions beyond what I already take, as every trailhead is a likely hit spot regardless of its recent history. A car break in thread would never have good news, only bad news. If a car break in thread is useful, it means you are not taking sufficient precautions already. A thread like this would only bum people out.
If we have a car break in thread I'm gonna start a hemorrhoids thread.
