Securing your things

[Old School]

For those of you that leave your wallet in your car. Do you have keys that will automatically unlock your car? I say this because some of the places I've workout in were not as secure as you would like, and I have seen where thief's would break your padlock (the combination lock can be broken with a regular screwdriver), grab keys, and go into the parking lot and push the button until they find the car that blinks and steal the car. Now that your wallet is sitting in there, too. They now have access to your home and personal information. Me, I keep my wallet in my pocket (monetary reasons) and I keep an extra set of keys in my wallet in case I need to leave in a real real hurry. No matter where I work.

I also have a little lock for my travel bag, but that's mainly there to keep the officials honest. Only an issue when you have multiple officials sharing the same area like at camps.

I actually had my car stolen a couple of years ago at a game while I'm working and I was so worried about the thief's having access to my home, because my garage door opener was in there and I don't lock my inside door to the garage. Thank god my wallet wasn't in there but my briefcase was, and for some reason, I put this in the trunk that night, lucky. It was such a pain trying to convince the police dept. that my car was stolen cause I didn't know the license plate#, plus they took the path that the car was impounded because of the area I was in. So this took me down a different path and it was several hours later before I was able to convince them that the car was actually stolen. Imagine how difficult that would have been if I didn't have my drivers license to prove who I say I am.
