Re: Security concerns about your Marcos?

2001-09-14 by Mike Denman

Hi Jeff,
I don't spend a lot of time worring about the Marcos being stolen.  
For the professional thief it has no value since stripping it for 
parts doesn't make sense and it would be hard to sell. For the amateur 
thief (kids who want to take a joy ride) it is perhaps too distinctive 
in that it would draw attention and be immediately spotted after being 
reported stolen.  I do cover mine with a car cover when parking 
outside on trips.  Frankly, I worry more about people backing into it 
than stealing it.  The Marcos is low enough that the average driver 
could miss seeing it in the rear view mirror (assuming they were 
looking) while backing out of a parking space.
