    i would not be worried about theft - my neighborhood's way nice, i've got a security system, i've got insurance, and i really don't think any burglars are interested in moving a 300 pound object. in my experience it's usually teenagers interested in booze and easily-hockable stuff like electronics, musical instruments, and jewelry anyway.

    i would be worried about condensation on the components though. it sure gets chilly around here in late october at night. wouldn't they get soaking wet inside and out once i brought them back inside and they warmed back up?

    man we get like 100 kids a year. huge, newish suburban neighborhood.

    weird that it's all the people who brag about their guns who are afraid of getting stolen from. wonder what the correlation is there.

    Quoted from littlecammi:

    Okay, if you put a couple of pins in your garage on Halloween (maybe MB and CFTBL and SS) and invite neighborhood kids into the garage to play them...you'll find yourself arrested and booked as a potential child molester. Heck, you're already coaxing them to come close to you by offering them candy. But enticing them off the sidewalk and inside your garage? Better have someone ready with bail money.

    what kind of weirdo paranoid neighborhood do you live in? jeez.

    Quoted from Aurich:

    Good lord this thread has taken some seriously paranoid twists. You'd think the idea was to drop your pins off at the local bus station, with a piece of string tied to them leading back to your house with a sign hanging on them that says "come rob me".

    seriously. do you people live in homes or barb wired bunkers?

    I would totally do this if I had a way to get them up into my garage.

    Quoted from vid1900:

    Two word solution:
    Walkout Basement

    my basement has a walkout, but then i have to go around the side of the house up a hill over lawn to get to the garage -- that is not a trivial journey with a widebody Williams!

    Quoted from Jean-Luc-Picard:

    Not sure if other people feel the same way. But I rather not let strangers or even neighbors know I own pins or any valuables. Window blinds are always shut and my pistols and AR15's are loaded by my bedside. I was robbed at gunpoint in my own home before, won't happen again. lol

    yes this was discussed.

    if there were an easier route to my garage from my basement, i would, but i'd have to either go around the outside of my house up a big hill on grass, or up a winding staircase.

    Quoted from beelzeboob:

    Guy just had a BBB stolen from inside his garage, and you're considering putting one on the porch?

    not worried about it. it's a great neighborhood and i'd probably be there the whole time anyway.

    #163 9 years ago

    race card? you're the one blaming a race for crime.

    I wish I could do this, but moving games from my basement up the stairs and around to the garage would be a huuuuge pain.
