Use your best judgement and hope for the best.
They are in Oakland, that's for sure. They steal literally everything in that city. Someone stole the center caps off my buddy's stock wheels for his '01 Tacoma. They're worth what, 5 bucks total?

My dad was sleeping in the bed of his Tacoma (with a shell) at a truck stop and he woke up to someone cutting his cat converter off, luckily he scared them away before they got it completely off but he had to drive home with straight pipes. They target trucks and lifted vehicles because they can just crawl under and have quick access.

Every time I leave my car around there, I just expect to come back to broken windows and a mess. I take alternative transit when it's at all possible. OAK airport is only marginally safer than the city streets.

Even if they don't steal anything, I've seen crackheads just run down the street with a pipe smashing windows on every car as they go.

I am sorry to hear this.... A crowbar across the arm or leg might fix this- but sadly i'm sure that this is against the law in some places...

Would make me feel good though while sitting in my jail Cell.

I had a feeling that they were still doing this..and the bit about running down the street just breaking chit for no reason?

Sorry that an "Asswhupable" offense... just pisses me off.

Wow. Sorry to hear. I ordered the security style bolts for my KC ditch lights. I wish Baja Designs sold a similar bolt they just have the small side screws that are “security”

"Security bolts"
I did the same for my Rigids.. I was surprised to find that the bolts are the same as any security bolt sold at any hardware dealer.

The Nut was a bit different though.
Good luck to us all.

Never leave anything at the airport. I very often leave for a long time, and leaving my things at the airport is very expensive in my city, almost $ 600 per month. I would not advise you to use airport parking. Of course, if you use a guarded parking lot, then nothing will be stolen from you, but this has a minus - the price. Parking is often very expensive, especially if for a long time. I would not advise you to use your personal car to get to the airport. Also, I do not advise you to use a taxi. Perhaps there will be various problems, such as that all your things will not fit in the car, or the car will have to wait for a very long time until they arrive. I advise you to use the transfer. You can agree with them in advance and at a certain time a car will be waiting for you. I very often leave for long periods, so I have to take a lot of things with me. When I used a taxi, not every car could fit all my belongings. I had to order another car. I am currently using the transfer provided by this company blueskylimovail.com. The big plus for me is that they have large SUVs that can fit absolutely anything. (by the way, the transfer is cheaper than a taxi). I hope this review is helpful to you, good luck!
