      Well there is the American public school system in which common sense is frowned upon. Teachers Unions are another enemy of the US. I went into debt (which I repaid) making sure my kids were never in it. However, now the private schools are worse. Dems and Libs are all sickos.

    Even though you think the airport parking garage may be “secure”, always use extra safeguards when you can, even if you feel it’s more of an inconvenience. Safety should NOT be compromised by your inconvenience. Here are my tips: Take your keys with you, use “The Club” for your steering wheel, install a reliable alarm system for your vehicle, hide or take away your garage door openers, and if possible, take your car registration and insurance card with you when you park the car so possible intruders can’t find the address of your residence. It’s better to be safe than sorry!

    • @fcny1218
      @fcny1218 ปีที่แล้ว

      I don’t know if the owners of the parking lot can be held liable for damage, loss or theft. Depending on location, when you get a ticket as you’re driving into a lot or garage, most times the ticket will have a disclaimer printed on it as to the parking owner’s non-assumption of liability to anything that may happen to your car. It’s their way of covering their butts if someone tries to sue them. Is it fair? No.

    If you're going to leave anything in the vehicle at least find a hidey-hole behind a trim panel where no one would ever think to look. Another trick I use is installing a blinking LED in a prominent location that does absolutely nothing but blink 24/7. Requires very little power & will discourage most thieves.

    NEVER leave your keys in your car in any public parking situation. When I travel, I always hook my keys to a keyring in my backpack or my carry-on. It's a travel inconvenience but still better than the scenario highlighted in the video.
    Using a simple anti-theft measure like a steering wheel club will effectively reduce theft not because a thief can't ultimately defeat the device, but because it's just easier to choose another unprotected vehicle parked nearby. Remove your car's registration and leave nothing in your car with your home address.
    Remember to remove your default home address from your GPS navigation unit. I sometimes program a local police station address and set it as my home address when I leave my car in long term parking, but that's more of a feel-good stunt than an effective anti-theft measure. Take your garage door opener with you or or hide it in the car, and send yourself an email reminding yourself where you hid the garage door opener (and where you parked your car in the garage structure), and pin that email.
