Our Adventurer came with a door over the gas fill with a non keyed turn to latch knob. I replaced the latch a couple years ago with a keyed lock.

Granted the door can be broken, but like any type of securtiy system it only makes yours less appealing to the crooks.

Does Hans have any off-spring? I'm afraid my Lab would lead them to the fuel tank and lick them in the face while they were filling up their cans...

I think Hans need an extra portion of steak tonight.

LOL, there's alot of those around Craig! I just hope mine scares them away when they first get a glimpse of her. Otherwise, she'll be running the "lick me" line too.

Hans & Smitty!!! Now that's a good team

Well, now one of the boy's parents is threatening to sue me for the damages to their kid's posterior. (This morning they tried to get Hans labelled as a menace/biter. Judge refused, said Hans doing his job, plus have a "Beware of Dog" sign posted at entrance.)

Someone needs to explain to them they were luckey it was Hans and not Smitty doing a job on thier little darling.

EXACTLY what I was thinking! Tell 'em they should give Hans a reward for keeping their little darling from being shot!!

Last month an Indianapolis cable TV guy returned to his van just in time to see the thief walking away with a can of his gas. The thief punched a hole in the gas tank, caught all he could, then left the rest on the pavement under the van.
Teach, that's the kind of parents that raise delinquents, who often grow up to be ex-cons.

That kind of attitude in parents goes a long way to explain why we have so much trouble, and so little education, in the public schools these days. Sounds like you might have found at least on judge with some sense.
