I plan to just carry the Pelican case. Even if poeple think I'm carryng a bomb around (too many episodes of Alias I guess or other shows using Pelican cases for all sorts of spy-like stuff).

I have left it in my trunk in the past as well, but no matter how "safe" you think the location is, if someone decides it's your car's turn then it's best to be safe than sorry. They'll take it and try to figure out later what it is - if they don't know when they grab it.

My girlfriend understands so I don't think I'll hear any complaints from her. My car was boosted right from in front of my own house and hers moved onto the street to get mine out. I'm the over-engineering type, but I really hadn't done anything at that point to really safeguard the vehicles. Just betting that the neighbourhood was decent.

Just picked up a replacement car today and it will be parked in the garage starting tomorrow - need to take a few things out so it couldn't go in there tonight. Tonight the outside lights stay on and so do the rope lights I put up all around the porch for Christmas. Hope I can get to sleep ok. Part of the reason I came online was to see if I could get just that little bit more tired before hitting the sack.
