Don't know if there is an alarm specifically made for this, but I have seen in mail order catalogues battery powered alarms that are meant to hang on hotel doorknobs as well as alarms with pull pins for running. could see a few ways of adapting them. > > What do you do when you leave your kayak on the car topper going for lunch, > over night, etc.? drive through and campers perhaps? -- Gabriel L Romeu http://studiofurniture.com ------------------> furniture http://users.aol.com/romeugp ------------------> paintings, prints, photos and stuff http://members.xoom.com/gabrielR -----------> A Daily Journal of Observations *************************************************************************** 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/ ***************************************************************************

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...

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! cya -----Original Message----- From: owner-paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net [mailto:owner-paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net]On Behalf Of Joe Pylka Sent: Sunday, June 18, 2000 9:44 PM To: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subject: Re: [Paddlewise] Security Issues- Stolen Boat- Kryptonite cable > >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....

Phares and all: I learn something everyday. Lock Smith recommended the cable and I thought I had it down. From your experience I had better go back to the drawing board.
