We were there when the scum bag in question was caught, parked just a little ways further out, and saw them loading him in the ambulance.

The last 4 years that we raced regularly, people we know were robbed at Atlanta, both at the LODRS events and the National Events, every single one of those races.

Etown during the early to mid 1980's had a streak of car thefts happen.

One year something close to 10 cars were stolen there. My friends was stolen from the bar/restaurant close to the track that was a popular place to stop after the race. Broad daylight......suburban, open trailer, tools, spare stuff and racecar gone. Car recovered, and I went to NYC to get it after a lot of work on my friends part to find it. He still has it.....Nothing else recovered

I was so paranoid I chained my car to my open trailer for the overnight while I drove home during a division race. Forgot the chain next day when I went to go to the lanes.....no harm done.

I also closed up my box trailer once I had one anytime I went up to make a run and locked my side door and my pickup.

I sometimes lock my motorhome unless I am parked with friends which is almost always the case....

I have a safe in both my toter and my trailer to keep wallets and phones locked up as well as keys and such. They are pretty cheap at HD or Lowes if you catch them on sale.

That's a great idea! I WILL have one! Even though I have a huge dog who WILL eat you if I'm not around, a safe is a fantastic idea!

Tonka will love on you all day as long as I'm there, just don't try to enter the motorhome when I'm in the lanes!! Jim
