> >Has anyone heard of any type alarm system that would be useful. > I had thought of this a couple of years ago when a canoe was stolen from my backyard.... My notion was to use one of those alarms sold by medical companies to indicate that someone has gotten off/out of a wheelchair (for geriatric situations). Basically it's a loud beeping sound activated when the patient gets out of the chair, pulling a short cable attached to his clothing. I'd planned on attaching the alarm unit itself to the boat so that the thief would have to be carrying away a loudly beeping boat that he couldn't silence... But there were some logistic difficulties, so I ultimately dropped the idea. >What do you do when you leave your kayak on the car topper going for lunch, >over night, etc.? > I still use just a cable... Only now I will also use it on my car rack when I'm away from it for an extended period of time. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Sun Jun 18 2000 - 19:06:36 PDT
