Hi Dune and readers,
"(These people steal baby formula and steak to feed thier heroine/crack addictions on a regular basis). Any ideas where I could find something like that??"
That depends on whether you're looking for baby formula, steak, crack or heroin.
You have a choice, find a new place of employment, leave the car at home or leave the electronics at home preferably in that order. There is more to consider than a car, scanner and antenna, the first order of business is protecting yourself from da gangstas and thier favorite hobbies, robberies, muggings and drive by shootings.
On the other hand da boyz walked right by my parked VXAmobile without a second glance, an old Toyota with the radio hidden in the glove box and the antenna off the mount hidden in the trunk. The idea is to make it as unapealing as possible I guess, a brand new Beemer with a "CB" in plain sight might be another story. On the other hand, a long time ago in a galaxy far away that you just might call a high crime area one asked me "Is yo a cop?" so needless to say I transited the area without regard to the speed limit and a few traffic signals, antenna bent back by wind pressure.
The summation of the story is a question, what sort of chances are you willing to take?
