"I got" Security stickers: Use them or not?

Nobody steals stuff just to go put it into their own car. They don't care if the deck will work or not, as long as they can sell it.

That's not entirely true...

A buddy of mine had some stuff jacked out of his pickup several months back. He was pretty certain he knew who did it so he just gathered up his receipts and bided his time.

He waited a few months and then went to pay a visit to the suspect and lo and behold ~ every single item missing from his truck was in said suspect's Camaro! Two smashed door windows and an obliterated windshield later d00d comes running out of his house with a baseball bat whooping and hollering...my bud looked at him calmly and motioned towards the .357 on his side then went back to uninstalling his gear.

When the dude screamed something about calling the cops my buddy hollered back that he needed to make sure he told the cops that there was a guy breaking into his car to steal back the gear that had been stolen from him and he had receipts in his pocket to verify actual ownership.

Strangely the cops never showed......

X a zillion on not advertising what's in your ride. No reason asking someone to liberate the fruits of your hard-earned dollars from you, right?
