Question Leave trail prepped rig in airport parking garage?

Hey folks -

Does anyone regularly leave their trail rig at the airport when taking trips for business or vacation? Have you ever had issues with external components getting stolen (lights, racks, wheels, etc)?

PS - most interested in if you leave it in a covered / secured garage. I'd never leave it out in the economy parking wasteland. Bonus points if experience at Portland airport.

...Apologies if there has been another thread on here. I promise I did search... without luck

I've left mine in economy at OAK a few times with no issues. Got nervous about that and started taking Uber instead (which my company reimburses).

Bonus: This means I can drink on the flights home too

How long are you talking? 3 days? a week? I happen to know that there is a storage facility in the area where you can rent basically a garage that you can lock yourself, it is also gated cameras etc. I think it was $150.00 for 30 days. cheaper than the airport by a mile. however if you're not leaving for a LONG time then it's a bit much.

If so concerned, yes, Uber.

Ha. Very true.

I find that driving myself home helps me not get in trouble with my wife for enjoying those free drinks and then being useless when I get home.

I never had issues with mine (lights, rack, other small stuff). I now Uber though due to the parking just being a pain as the demand for spots has gone up quite a bit over the past couple years. Plus alot cheaper. (this my vary depending on your proximity to the airport)

I always laugh at the people who leave thousands of dollars of recovery gear strapped to their truck in public places like the mall or airport.

It's super easy to steal all that and you even give them a shovel to get into your truck with.

I don't even leave my jack on the roof rack when I'm not heading off road.

LOL so true! They leave on RTT, shovel, jack, maxtraxx, rotopax, etc. Gives them the “i off road brah” look. Yet their mud terrains are shinier than the ceramic coat that they apply to their paint every week.

I personally wouldn't want to leave it vulnerable for that long, but I've had worse luck in hotel parking lots than airport garages.

At the very least, I'd move anything that doesn't require a tool to remove to the inside of the truck and cover it all up with a dark blanket. Then park it next to a more expensive vehicle. You don't have to outrun the bear.

People driving around with their shackles on is a big thing in denver area. I don't understand it myself.
