Default Do you leave your RoadAngel in the car??

I've had a RoadAngel for some time now and have always been paranoid that some scumbag will pinch it out of the car if I leave it in there, so have always taken it out with me, which along with the stereo makes for a cumbersome pocketful in the pub!!

What do you do?

Leave 'em both where they are. Not bright, but I am idle. Never had an issue with it as yet.

I put mine in the glove box too.... but thieving scum could be reading this so I'm not going to put it there any more!!!!

I know waht you mean though, its embarrassing sitting in the pub with the table cluttered up with mobile phones, stereo fronts and speed camera detectors!

I use to untill a friend of mine had his window smashed in town and all that they took was his road angel.For the sake of putting it out of sight then i think it well worth the extra 10 secs or so.IMHO

leave in car.

i would "guess" stealing them is not that common as once reported stolen they can never resync ?

... then again the dilberts that would nick them wouldn't know or care i ... oh well.

mwp re sync, exactly and for that reason i always leave mine on show and at the end of the day i couldnt be bothered to keep hiding the wires each time either - the wires kind of give the buggers a clue something could be in the car so they smash a window anyway. Some of them will imo realise a road angel is no good to them and not bother if on show.... famous last words!

FFS... you shouldnt leave ANYTHING on show in your car......

Are you inviting someone to break in?

Do you really need to ask such a stupid question?

Question

I personally leave nothing on show, not even parking money.

I had my car broken into a year ago.
I had one of those revolving front cd - radios. You cant remove this type

They smashed a window , wrecked the stereo trying to get it out and nicked my snooper and cd's from the glove box

Little fu%%ng ***** !!

I now have a removable front type cd and a replacement snooper.
At least hide them, or better still , take them with you.

You will regret it if your car is vandalised and your stuff is nicked
