      NEVER go to the year one event. Or at least in my own car.
      6 cars stolen? Perhaps a change of venue is in order.

      No Tony, do not go to any cars shows if this is how you feel. this has nothing to do with Year One, Atlanta, or anything else. As I said in my Snitch article. Car theives are profiling shows and races, and taking orders. It is runored that one car was attempted to be stolen while outside the dragstrip, then later, when put in the trailer sitting at the hotel, they tried to get the entire rig! Someone ordered THAT car! your liscense plate number is all a theif needs to take it from your home later. this is a serious problem no matter where you and the show are.

      Year One cannot be responsible for hotel security in every parking lot of every hotel in the area. We stayed 25 miles out and there were a dozen cars staying there. Our cars, our trucks, our trailers all have Snitches. I spend upwards of $150 a month to track them all, but protected over a half million in cars and equiptment this weekend between ours and customer cars. Looking in the mirro, that sounds cheap.

      I was thinking that same thing...no regular car thief steals big dollar show cars. Maybe Jags and Mercedes, but to have someone steal a big companys show car, it had to have been someone who knew about it and really wanted that particular car.
