If you believe you'll get ripped off, then that's it. Please keep in mind, I'm not naive, when I lived on the West coast with the same vehicle before this, I had it broken into 6 times.
Yes, you have to balance the seeming contradiction of always thinking positive while taking steps to ensure your safety and security.
