>> Blame the victim is a common mentality these days.  I'd like to see the KX3 just go ahead an electrocute the SOB that stole it.  After about 4 days, someone would find it...by smell if no other reason. Eric acts like the guy left it laying in the front seat with a "steal me" sign on it.  Jeeesh.

Of course its the victims fault.  Had the victim not bought a KX3 or a 
car to put it in, it would not have been stolen.  He is lucky he did not 
donate his car to the worthy cause as well.

One solution is to restrict your possessions to dumpster trophies, or 
stuff that thieves would not steal.

Or disguise your good stuff to be less appealing.  A big blob of plastic 
dog poop can do wonders to hide a KX3.

For the technically inclined, how about a GPS system that can call home 
if it determines it is in a strange place.  Such a device should not add 
more than $500 to a $1000 radio.  Its not the cost, it is a matter of 
principle.

Now can we close this silly thread?
