Yes because a) there is no one else on this site with laptops/Xbox(orig/360)/ps(1/2/3) rear dvd players, LCD screens on their dash/in boot...
b) someone is going to track me down just to get a laptop, that 'could' be 10 year old....

Maybe I should go after the person with this screen in their boot....

OOOOH! Now i know what to do with my 32" computer/TV Screen when i upgrade it to a bigger screen! Just gotta move my fire extinguisher a bit! :yeah:

If you want to secure the laptop, for about $30-50 you can get a Kensington lock to secure your laptop to a part of the car. The only way to get through them is to cut the cable if you have strong enough cutters, or remove whatever the cable is attached to. Generally to pick the lock it will take more time, or guess the combination.

And a study showed that a guy in a car with an alarm going off will generally only stay for a maximum of 2 minutes. Without the alarm going off it's 3 or 4 minutes. You dont hang around!

It's spray can adhesive, WAS put on both bits (cardboard and material) but because material is so flimsy it was hard to keep it stick down properly...Maybe I just rushed it :bang:

ahh there ya go i dont think u rushed it see the spray cans r the worst 2 use simply coz they dont have the strength even if uve done everything right. Also u'll find in a very hot day or over year or more so down the track (normally should last appox 10 years) it will start falling down again. The best stuff 2 use comes in the tin cans like quik grip, coz they dont have those extra additives that spray cans do. If u dont have a spray gun 2 put it in u can still use a paint brush 2 apply it.

2nd that on the Spray can Adhesive crap its the worst thing you can use, as said about quik grip is good, i cut up a icecream container and made a scraper and applied it and worked a treat, if its thin matirial it will come through, also viynel sweats if applied to thick but goes away, if you take it out and do it again ditch the interior light all together and make the lighting bolt into the light insted it should be bright enough, if your going to that extream might aswell ditch the light in the middle it will look alot better, and a darker colour would make it stand out more. good luck.
