Car was broken into last night.

I have a Louisville Slugger in my car behind the passenger seat. If I had walked out while they were jacking with my car, I don't know what I would do.

A 12ga works nicely for this. Plus if you had it under your bed, it would already be in your hands should you have to approach a pack of thieves.

I just got an email saying that wasp spray is the way to go - shoots up to 20 or 30 feet away and is pretty accurate.

This happened at home? What part of NRH do you live?

I have found that in the past a nice 9 iron will do the job. It worked on a stupid drunk under my window at 4:30 in the morning. Wasp spraw would work too (kindda like mase), if you don't want to get too close.
I have also found that my 65 pound dog HATES people that don't belong,and she will chase them down.
Although she loves the kids next door as well as their little dog. the best thing is a barking dog. they tend to move on to someplace quieter.
Just a thought

Is there anyone in the D/FW area who specializes in repairing Miatas?


And where can I buy a hardtop?

And just in case google turns up another Dallas Miata specialist, read this thread:

As for hardtops, they are occasional available used for around $850. Check the classifieds on the forum and Craigslist. Beware that hardtops are a theft target too. Many people either use something like the Top-Loc or remove the latches and bolt the top on. Not convenient if you like topless motoring.

That stinks. I live down around the Glenview/Rufe Snow area. So far no problems with mine sitting in my driveway, but I always worry about it.

I always thought a hardtop was the way to go for theft prevention, but just read on the pointy board that the back window of a Power Retractable Hardtop was broken out for a GPS. Gotta hide that stuff. It happened during the day.

car cover...
cover's everything, nobody can see what you have in your car, or your car period...
although technically they can still break in, how many people do you actually think will bother?
not to mention the whole protection from the weather and UV rays...
Especially in Texas, I imagine it's nice to wake up, jump in the car, and your interior not be 200 degrees...

This is exactly why I'm moving away from the DART train station that's going in down the street which puts me between public transportation and fried chicken. I specifically stated the "fried chicken restaurant" because someone from the neighboring apartment complex confessed to "stabbing a punk on his way to the fried chicken restaurant."

I make it a point to never make friends with my food.
