RE: [Paddlewise] Security Issues- Stolen Boat- Kryptonite cable

Run a few thousand volts through the cable. 220V will do as a start. Make
sure you have a big enough dumpster and some heavy duty extra sized trash
bags. Oh, keep the ground moist for best effect!

        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.

        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.
