Ways to protect your Les Pauls and other gear.

So I was on metalguitarist.org and they posted about another bands trailor being broken into and having guitars stolen, so I wrote up a response of ways to protect your gear at home and while on the road. Since I currently do not tour and highly doubtfull I will use the 2nd option, but if I do start again, even local I will be sure to get it on my car or trailor. The first option I have already at my house, so here we go.

1st- It is a alarm system, all wireless, just need to supply power and a land line, $140 from amazon.com, this one you can program to dial up to ten numbers if it is set off. But great way to know when someone is breaking into your house/garage and you will get a phone call right away. Of course you will need a land line for it to dial you.

Amazon.com: Skylink SC-1000 Complete Wireless Alarm System, Off-White: Home Improvement

2nd, with some modification you can install this on your trailor, or however you get your gear around, it is basically a lo jack type of alarm designed for a auto, but instead of calling lo jack it text's you, emails you and I believe up to four other email or text address's. It has a built in celluar card so you dont have to plug it into a land line or anything.

It is called Mobile Angel. The good thing about this is you buy locates, they are really cheap, I think you can get 500 for 50 or 100 dollars or something like that. Anyway you use a locate whenever the alarm is tripped or you track it online via the built in GPS.

Of course there are a few modifications you will have to make, but any good auto shop should be able to do this. Mod's will have to be installing a regular alarm system on your trailor plus a battery type system to run the alarm and the mobile angel.

I drilled a hole in my guitar and attached the heaviest chain I could find. The other end of the chain is on my leg so they can never steal the guitar without taking me along

For home I'm thinking about a safe for my guitars.
