dont leave anything in the car.
leave the gloveboxes open so anyone can see theres nothing to steal
>why will PrepHole take the typically contrarian stance and defend thieves
Because PrepHole has a large population of mental ill urban/suburban NEETs whose existence depends off leaching off others, and thus identify more with social parasites and associate people who can afford things with their parents who keep telling them to get jobs.
They don't actual care about PrepHole activities let alone actually go outside, their primary interest in PrepHole is as a conceptual stage to project escapist fantasies into.
This. Real outdoors people are on proper outdoors forums not fricking PrepHole. People come here to larp and to fantasize. You came to the wrong website OP
Reddit, home to proper outdoor forums.
Frick no. https://www.vftt.org/ shit like this
Why do you hate troonys
Frick it, I'm going to post up with a rifle 30 yards away from my car and send the thief to hell.
I don't hike in California, so I've never experienced this issue.
Why is CA like shit? NY doesn't have these problems, it's all CA. Texas is exactly the same.Just a shithole filled with crime and misery
>ny doesnt have these problems
The big cities in ny do (buffalo, rochester, albany, nyc)
The reason most of NY doesnt have these problems because its largely rural. Despite what westies think NYS is quite an PrepHole state.
The Adirondacks have seen an increase in vehicle breakins in recent years

What valuables are you leaving in your car? I don't even lock mine, if someone steals the car or vandalizes it my insurance will cover it and it's nothing more than an inconvenience that day and there's nothing in there for them to steal since I don't even have a radio.
whoa
is this the bike-cuck cooypasta?
I don't think I've seen that pasta but the "I don't worry because insurance" attitude is part of the problem.
Planning my first PrepHoleing on BLM land, gonna cover the car in a color matched tarp to conceal it from a distance and watch it through my scoped rifle a few hundred feet and just see what happens.
Leave a guard dog inside the car.
Yeah and make sure to crank the heat up so the dog doesn't get cold
The answer is always Punji pits, how many and whether or not to cover them in feces is really up to you, personally I do because I want to inflict as much suffering as possible for the would be thief/federal agent/taxcollector/mailman
There is absolutely nothing you can do, not a single thing.
If you empty it an open the glove box, they will vandalize the vehicle to punish you for anticipating them.
If you leave it empty and unlocked, they'll shit and piss on it, smoke in it, eat in it, sleep in it, etc.
If you leave a guard dog in there, the next person to the trailhead will call the rangers/police and your dog and car will both be impounded. That, or they'll steal the dog. Pit bulls get stolen all the time.
It's a consequence of our deteriorating civilization, and these consequences get harder to ignore and avoid by the year. Remember we love in a country where we feel compelled to drive everywhere in civilization or get run over, mugged, sucker punched, or arrested, and kids do trunk or treat in parking lots as a cope that it's not safe for children to exit a building anymore (or even be in a building, sometimes).
Feel free to lie in the bushes with a rifle all weekend doing nothing but seethe. When you fall asleep, that's when they'll get your shit.
The two things you can do are 1.) stop using that trailhead, or w.) get someone to drop you off. That's it. None of the other incel NEET LARP fantasies ITT will work even slightly.
Holy shit I hate phoneposting, look at all those gay typos, frick this, it's desktop and laptop only from now on
Where the frick do you live?
>Where the frick do you live?
I'd bet you my foreskin that if he isn't from Caligaygia, wherever he is from is a lot closer to CA than to NC.
Take one guess.
>Where the frick do you live?
Where I (the anon explaining why there's nothing he can do) live, this sort of thing doesn't happen. I know what I know because I'm old and wise enough to understand human nature and our society. We've been slapping Band-Aids on our societal problems for decades now, one quick fix after another, and it'll continue to get worse unless we start addressing the roots of our problems.
you're too scared to leave your car at a trailhead, but you're pretending to know wtf you're talking about regarding society. frick off and stay /in/
>other incel NEET LARP fantasies
like what public transport?
>When you fall asleep, that's when they'll get your shit.
Ah yes the 300IQ giga ninja trailhead car thieves who have trained 9000 hours to detect snipers will wait around until I fall asleep.
OP here, this issue started becoming common in the western states in about the early 2000s. Although I've been lucky and haven't had my vehicle broken into, I know a good dozen people who have. Most of them are climbers, a few are fishermen/hunters. It's not as simple as "leave nothing in your vehicle worth stealing" because a climbing or fishing road trip often means leaving a car full of camping gear for a few hours at a trailhead or pull out, and insurance won't cover the cost to replace my gear... Not to mention the hassle of it all when I'm somewhere in the middle of Wyoming.
My personal policy is to not have gear stickers on my car, let the car be as dirty as possible, leave a bunch of trash and gross shit inside the car, and hide ALL the gear under a bunch of old dirty clothes and garbage such that it looks like I'm homeless and living in my car. I keep the garbage and old clothes in a trash bag while I'm driving. I feel like this ruse kinda sorta works but it's a pita and I really shouldn't have to do it. In particularly bad areas the thieves have accomplices hiding near the trailhead, watching people arrive and hide their valuables under the seat. I try to know about these areas by reading local news - for example, search "trailhead vehicle break ins and thefts" in the Oregonian or Bozeman Daily Chronicle.
I believe a person forfeits their right to a trial when they steal a car or the contents within. I'll be the judge, jury, and executioner if I catch a thief. I'm old enough to not care anymore.
People should be hiding their valuables when they are parked somewhere far away from the trailhead, but if they are lingering at the trailhead to put on expensive gear they are screwing themselves no matter what. It amazes me to see idiots spending 20 minutes by their vehicle making sure the whole world sees that they have pricy gear when you're supposed to move away from the trailhead ASAP.
Not really. It's not an issue in my state. But I don't live in California, so...
Youu're a homosexual for censoring homosexual. homosexual.
Real talk, if it's popular enough to be targeted you shoudln't park there. Find somewhere far away and hide your car and conceal it in general. It's a good skillset to have.
As a snowdropper myself, I specifically target cars with out of state plates and anything LGBTQ10+ related, as well as any GOP cringe.
Most of the time it's not really about what you've got, it's about who you come across as and if you are an annoying person you will get this far more. The thing is crime happens sure, but a lot of it is predicated on meeting someone who gets annoyed at you. You can't prevent or minimise anything in lots that are known to be targeted. That's why we do it. Most of the time if there's nothing inside it's just a tyre cutting mission so that local towing company can get some cash which goes to the locals. So beware of that, sometimes locals really are that c**ty.
TLDR it's targeting not crime, you probably did something cringe to bring attention to yourself.
>As a snowdropper myself
You should be ventilated
Don't worry, he's just pretending, he doesn't go outside.
Free stuff says otherwise. I get protective of my parks.
Really it's so rare that it isn't going to be that much of a problem. The thing to remember is a lot of parking lots if popular have more people which means more attention but also more brazen theft. I can't imply that it's not a risk but really you can just police your gear well and keep anything important where it's hard to access or remove fast. So locking cases and fixed trunks. Obviously use your judgement and if it feels sketchy, it probably is.
Camo nets and use of bermed terrain. Mostly you just have to hide it from the nearest driving path direction. Get rid of reflections, elimiate the profile.
>real talk
You're a bigger homosexual than he is.
I guess I'm relieved that I'm not annoying or cringey enough to be targeted, based on my luck so far. And because I never know which way a person leans politically, I keep my politics to myself... but I figure the GOP and Dems are two sides of the same coin and can both frick off. Anybody with LGBTQ shit on their car almost needs to have their shit fricked with but it'd be hypocritical of me to condone theft. That leaves out of state plates, and since I travel for PrepHole shit I try to keep this in mind. The hunters in my state actually slash tires on out of state vehicles. This is more of a turf battle, my beach my wave thing. It's the damndest thing and hunting is getting to be like that.
Thanks for the heads up. It doesn't sound like I'll use a lot like you've described - I spend my time in the remote places, but I'll keep it all in mind as I go along.
how do you conceal a whole car
>tyre
I rigged up an elaborate system involving motion detectors, a tree-mounted spotlight and PA speaker, and a recording of "God" condemning sinners to suffer his wrath. Nothing stolen so far
Somebody was going around my area doing this, while I was living in my car and hitting trails every day. My car was never targeted. First off my car is nothing special, a Civic as opposed to an expensive cuck truck or SUV. Also my car was obviously full of junk: old pillows, crappy clothing, cheap food, papers, books. Anybody looking in could see there was nothing of value and likely nothing of value even hidden. Plus it looked like I could possibly even be hiding in the car in all that shit and could jump out and murder them.
as crazy as it sounds I think if you just roll the window down a bit, like a half inch, it will keep them from breaking the window. They will look in the car, and see that there's nothing in there, and they won't think to break the window. At least in my experience it works, and i have been in california and colorado for years so I am in the holy land of broken car windows
I’m in California and I’ve never had a problem at backcountry trailheads with new pickups. Talkin NF trailheads leading to wilderness.
I do frequently see glass on the ground at trailheads just outside town. Did, I should say. I don’t go to those shit trails anymore.
that is true, rural trails dont have these problems. I suppose if you are a homeless crackhead you can't be walking yourself and your tent out to remote trails in the mountains to steal someone's a/c adapter
>I’m in California
>I do frequently see glass on the ground at trailheads
What a shithole state.
Why
Is
America
Such
Fricking
Shithole
?
not just an american problem. this happens in NZ too
N*rth islander detected
happens in queenstown all the time
Happened in Arthur's Pass and Lewis Pass recently
Plenty stupid bogans on the South Island that make up for the lack of minorities
California and israelite York are shitholes. I've lived in the rural Midwest my entire life and have never seen or experienced any problems.
Sounds like you need some culture.
Sounds like you need to be personally “culturally enriched”
You need to season your food Tbh.
I’ve lived in the NY/NJ metro area most of my life and have never seen or experienced any problems either. Contrary to what Fox News says, Californias problems are nowhere near the same as New York’s and thinking two cities on opposite ends of a continent have the same issues is fairly asinine and ignorant. Then again you’ve never left the area you grew up for longer than a weekend so I can’t say I’m surprised.
The “holocaust” was 6 million israelites getting evicted from Germany and moving enmass to the US. This is not a joke. Only a few hundred thousand died in the camps due to disease and supply lines getting cut. By the millions the dark mass of evil parasites moved to the US to leach and suck dry, to undermine and destroy.
Jews were already here dummy, the US even denied asylum to a bunch of yuro israelites.
"""Social and economic factors""" and their ~~*benefactors*~~.
Avoid areas with lots of diversity. (the entire west coast)
Don't keep anything of value in there and don't lock it.
I put a note in the window that says I'm hunting nearby. (Which is sometimes true.)
tripwire shotguns are available on ebay and amazon, they're designed to just setoff blanks but if you strap a waterpipe to it it will huck lead.
Unfortunately the government likes having the option to bust into peoples property to shoot them whenever they feel like it, so if you trap a doorway like that, you're going to jail forever if it ever goes off on a thief or murderer.
22lr from 30 yards away is an easy headshot if the piece of shit holds still for a few seconds, or you can gut shoot him for the lulz. Use a bolt action, leave your phone at your best friend's house, make sure your car is really dirty or muddy especially the license plate and any markings on it that are unique. Wear a wig and hat on the drive out of there. Don't do it if it doesn't feel 100% solid. Listen to your gut; it knows more than you think. Frick thieves, frick the pigs who protect them, frick the israelites who are destroying America.
>or you can gut shoot him
That is the dumbest idea in this thread. If you are going to put an animal down, put it down for good.
Ethics don't apply to thieves
I don't give a frick about thieves. If you wound anyone, they're going straight to the police. When asked what they were doing there, their excuse will be some shit like "oh I was just checking their tire pressure for them." Always shoot to kill.
Happy medium: kneecap them so they can't run away
You need to go further away from cities and avoid trails that are tourist traps.
You need to visualize the joy of shooting a thief in the face.
This is the real answer. Spend 5 seconds on google earth. Find the trail you think you want to use and then push down the road by 20 extra miles at least and look for another trail head away from everything. The one that doesn't get mowed as often, where the parking lot is as well maintained and has cracks in the pavement. Where the signage is from the last decade and hasn't been updated to the new style. That's the place you want to park at.
First thing I do when I park is dig a shallow 2 foot trench to hide the bodies of any Black folk dense enough to try to do me wrong. Haven't had to actually bury anyone yet and I've just been using them as toilets.
let me get this right - you drive to a trailhead, dig a 2 foot trench, and wait for someone to break into your car so you can shoot them?
Most people like to people watch in the city, I like to do it in the mountains through a scope.
a scope just flew over my hourse
If you leave a car parked in a heavily populated area there will always be a chance it gets fricked. This includes THs near cities.
I regularly leave camp up in more remote areas with plenty of gear for the taking and have never had anything stolen.
You probably don't live around melanated individuals.
Would a compound bow and mech heads work ok, or would that leave too much evidence?
lol, Amerilards literally the point of sociatal collaps that they set up their tent right next to they car under a pile of guns and burger because they cant afford to have their things ensured because that would ruin their credit´-score and they would be fire from their 3 jobs,
truely the land of the ShartMart
>they cant afford to have their things ensured
everything I have is an antique or an heirloom and I will kill a dark skinned frick for even being near it
>i will get life in prison because I'm too poor not to use my grandpas stinky socks!
I wont go to prison because i live in a correct state.
>everything I have is an antique or an heirloom
Everything you have is from a thrift store, calm down there Dwayne.
>t. Nanny-state homosexual
no "I'm gonna shoot any unleashed cars on site", am disappoint
I don't have a car but hide scooter or bike chained thru rims and frame to a tree with a note then a camo tarp
Cars should always be off leash just as god intended.
If u leave food in your car at a trailhead you deserve to be taxed by the forest nigz
to stop car theft ive always disabled the car via fuel pump relay kill switch. anything of value should not be kept in the vehicle.
I've been of hundreds of hikes and this never happened to me. It's the exact same risk you take parking your vehicle anywhere. Do not leave valuables in sight, that's it.
Quit being raycist, how dare you expect blacks to act civilized
Recently I've come up with the idea of setting up a fake camp near your vehicle so it appears you are either in the camp or nearby.
Step 1- get a cheap tent or tarp and set it up so it's near your car and in view from the road.
Step 2- place some props or gear near your shelter so it looks like the camp is being used, like a camp chair, firewood, water bottles, etc
Step 3- put a flashlight on low mode and leave it on in the tent so at night it appears someone is inside.
Step 4- put on a portable fm radio on so it sounds like you are inside your tent listening to the radio.
Other things you could do: place a fake/airsoft rifle in view, on a chair or something. Leave you tailgate down or trunk open. Make a rock firepit.
these are the same people who strip a house of copper and other stuff
-its money that local shit scrap yard/guy doesn't report to get cash money
-its free stuff that doesn't immediately get reported so pawn shops will take it(this is the most likely, oh those vehicles at site B? they go camping for a week(s), anything you steal there generally doesn't get reported fast enough)
-its done by those tired of nonlocals going into their woods and properties, throwing trash, shitting everywhere, calling in the military to air evac them when they can't get out of a paperbag
-they've been wronged by rich idiots who go there to have a traditional beer, drugs, woman, and wilderness party, destroy everything around them, someone dies/gets injured and they try to yank a local farmers health insurance because it pays more than theirs
-same people who yoink propane tanks, ski's, and more(they can use them themselves and not have to worry about resellers/pawn shops reporting them, why buy a kayak/canoe when the rich outsider has one)
-they REALLY take the CHEVY/FORD rivalry SERIOUS AROUND HERE!!
-Bears, both the animal and gay kind, the only true answer........
Move to a white country
Seen smash-n-grabs parked near me at trailheads but not mine. Unremarkable, muddy vehicle, in-state plates, cargo cover down and nothing else visible. Might get a cage for the cat converters though those disappear like crazy
>how to prevent break-ins or minimize damage
Don't go PrepHole near major urban areas. Rural newenglandgay here and we never have this problem. I leave cars unlocked, at trailheads, with camping equipment, power tools and even loaded guns visible in them and no one has ever touched anything.
In other words, don't go PrepHole anywhere near overly melanated individuals.
I can't speak to this as the area I'm in is white as frick anyway. I would imagine if you were hiking in a rural area in the deep south, East Bumfrick, Mississippi or something where there were country Black folk but no city Black folk you'd be okay, but I don't have experience there.
I will trust a black person from the country over a white person from the city any day, I have so much more in common with them.
I don't trust any of them, and I share no common ground with them. Only an idiot would think there's common ground. Those types of people aren't interested in anything other than seeing you and your kind burn.
Do Americans not have CCTV they can use to bust these thieves? Do they not have cops and rangers doing patrols on the trailheads or a list of the usual suspects so they know who the thieves probably are?
>CCTV
Imagine going for a nice 3 mile hike in the woods to see cameras everywhere on the trail.
Just the carpark, friend.
and the camera fails to identify the thieves and shit, but somehow gets a perfect picture of the vehicle next to the theft and the little shit dropping a plastic straw, resulting in a $500 dollar fine plus having plastic single use utensil fine
sounds like someone wants people to leave their vehicles unlocked, abandoned, and easy pickings here, known many people and their kids who go to vehicles along the sidewalks and parking lots, check all the doors to see if its unlocked, and rummage around for change/money/stuff to steal/sell/smoke/drink/burn
just park at local business with written paper stating that they'll watch your vehicle for so much time, HIKE to that trailhead, and go on your way, camera's don't deter shit, people in buildings with windows facing vehicles DO
>the vacant smallness of the eurp mind
kek,
there aren't enough cops to sit around watching them all.
I would imagine on isolated trails car breakins wouldn't be a huge issue so cops not really needed there. On more popular ones though, they couldn't send cops to do drivebys or have intelligence on the scum who usually rob cars?
If you think the average cop in he usa is there to help you've probably not paid attention for the last 20 years to how shit goes
Develloped urbanite dwelling brain cannot comprehend wilderness.
wow what a homosexual have a nice day
besides that one anon any other tips or ideas on leaving a motorcycle near a trailhead. I've been planning a trip and thats the only thing I cant find anxious people talking about

Put your toddler in the car
When the thieves come in have your toddler shoot them
