a friend of mine has this cool thing that goes into the receiver hitch that is a key safe and it has a combination lock to get into it

Like the one I use.....It also comes with a cover for it. You can't even tell what it is, when mounted on the truck.

I'd love to know the percentage of failures of suit pockets and leash pockets, combined, compared to "anti-theft" devices.

My anxiety towards those is based more on subconscious than statistics.

Then there was the one time up in N. LA County where the surf was so good and I was so stoked to get out there, I not only forgot to lock my car, I also left the door wide open too.

Maybe too many people thought it was a trap. Was just like I left it when I got out of the water, nothing missing, door still open. Good thing I had a relatively new battery. The Gods were smiling on me for that one. What a dork.

---

I have done that at least 5 times. Well, not in North LA, but...

---

I've done that and I've come close to doing this;

Remember seeing a local guy at Makapuu getting to his car, realizing he locked his keys in the car, tried unsuccessfully to get in, then picking up the nearest rock and smashing his own window. Problem solved.

---

I then bought 4 extra keys and silver foil duct taped 2 of 'em under some sheet metal ,1 in the leash,1 in the wetsuit.Not that any self respecting (HA!) thief would steal from my crappy car.

Guys, we have this discussion every year.
I use this waterproof container that I got
at Raging Waters. It holds my key fob and
DL, cash, cards... anything flat. If I have
the right cell fone, it fits that too.

Mines is about 6 years old and the rubber
gasket is still good. You just tuck it into
your wettie in a comfortable place.

please describe your "comfortable place"

I rarely bring my wallet with me while surfing. I often leave the cellphone home, too. Just my license and a little cash.

After reading accounts here and elsewhere about car break-ins, I no longer take my driver’s license nor credit cards. There’s four one dollar bills and twenty-five quarters in the glove compartment for parking that could be used in an emergency. I have a very well hidden xerox copy of my drivers license in case I’m pulled over by the police. Police would probably still cite me for driving without a license but at least they wouldn’t drag me “downtown” to get ID’d. Plus the idea of getting into a big hassle helps me slow down and drive the speed limit. I only take the state annual parking pass when I think I’m going to use it and hide it well because the pass will cost $180 or $185 now.

The car alarm has been a hassle. Does anyone here have a keyless keypad on the car? How does that work?

---

Fyi I heard somewhere you have 24 hours to to produce a license, registration and insurance without any penalty...assuming you haven't just mowed down a line of children while drunk...

GWS's solution still stands as the best: bring a big dog with you and have him hang out while you session.

nep

---

Yup. Used to have a big nasty dog that waited for me in my truck while I surfed. He loved that truck. He hated pretty much everyone else. Put the keys right there on his collar for everyone to see. Most of the time the doors were unlocked and the sliding window into the cab was open as well. Never a problem. No matter where I went.

I wouldn't do it now. I'd be too worried someone would get their hand ripped off and I'd get sued. Differnt times and nothing to lose.

I do the same. Only difference is my car has a chip in the ignition key. I took it to the hardware store and had a simple door key made from it. Put the door key on the line around my neck and hide the ignition key in the garbage bag.

ding, ding...tha's a winner! Works well for a room key also, or chicken shack depending on what tropical location one might be visiting.

If i got the right shorts, i'll thread a line through two pocket drain holes and attach the key so that it rests inside the pocket. I've only lost one key so far and it was before i started tying it. It was an old pair of shorts with crappy velcro. Luckily it was when i was fifteen and sporting an old Datsun that i easily broke into and started with a screw driver.

wtf is a wetsuit?
