Break in deterrent

I see the many threads about breaking into our trucks and this is just my 2 cents about a deterrent. Buy a "DRIVEWAY ALERT" from Amazon for around $25.00 or so. It comes with two sensors and a Base Station. You mount the sensors in your driveway and anytime a person breaks that beam it will beep your base station next to you and you will know anytime someone is in your space! Both the sensor and the base station are battery operated and I take a sensor and a base station with me when I am traveling and just put the sensor on the dash and the monitor in my hotel room and again you will know when someone invades your space!

A guy I know had a baby monitor, you could actually hear everything going on, even up in the room.
