I'm planning to take a minimal amount of gear with the exception of my driver's license and maybe some cash and of course the key to the truck when my wife and I head out for shore diving. I've done a fairly comprehensive search of the board, and it seems like there are two types of recommended solutions:
1) A waterproof container to store keys/IDs during the dive
2) A lockbox that is shackled to the vehicle.
What I'm interested in is:
1) Have you been burgled or incurred damage to your vehicle/belongings?
2) Which method has FAILED for you, or someone that you know about?
3) Could you get away with taking no ID/credit card/cash with you or is that a bad idea?
I like the idea of a lockbox that I could shackle to the brake pedal (hardened steel), but then I read about Hawaii where they just take bolt cutters. Am I overthinking the sophistication of the thieves? Alternatively, the waterproof container sounds good, and I heard that you can put an ID in a small dry bag, squeeze out as much air as possible, and it should be pretty safe from water leakage.
