Nice, almost 2-week, holiday vacation was rewarded with... forgetting a cowbell on the bumper, getting onto a fairly busy street, and having it fall off and turned into about 30 million pieces by the dozens of cars behind me.?ÿ ?????????ÿ 2023 here we go!!?ÿ ????ÿ
The obvious solution is ??.MORE COW BELL!
Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get me.
Mandatory solution actually, I really don't like using the small batteries or boat batteries.?ÿ ????ÿ
Standard rule. Equipment always goes in the truck and NEVER on the truck. In the truck or on the ground but NEVER on the truck.

Exactly. That's why I had to buy a new laptop last year. Found the mouse squished flat. Someone must have scraped up the laptop thinking they could do something with it.

Good rule.
I think the thing that did me in the most was simply being in a hurry.?ÿ Long day, cold out and getting dark fast, parked in rush hour traffic, blah, blah.?ÿ I guess on the bright side at least it was one of the cheaper items I could have destroyed.

Worked with a guy who left the DC on the truck. Also, same guy left company phone on the truck on a different job. Also worked with a guy who was bad about leaving the prism set up on site. Was helping him out one day and as we entered the site I said hey look someone is using our control, he said ohhh that??s where I left it the other day. Hard to believe as windy as that site was it was still perfectly plumb. LoL
Parachute cord Also known as Dummy cord to us jar heads. Only way to guarantee you don't leave something behind. But I agree with above statement. In the truck never on the truck. I have lost a many of things that way. ?ÿSaw a laptop fly as gracefully as it could going down the interstate once. It just did not have a graceful landing. ?ÿ
A few years ago I pulled into the carport at home and grabbed the DC to take in and charge.?ÿ Wife was by her car and told me she had found a snake by the door and had grabbed the first thing she could find, which was a pressure cooker sitting in the storage shed, and dropped it over the snake.?ÿ Raised it up, and sure enough there was a 3' long copperhead curled up ready to strike.?ÿ Grabbed a hoe, finished him off, and carried him out to the edge of the woods.?ÿ Next morning, got to work, and a few minutes later one of the guys came in and asked if I meant to leave the DC on the bumper of the truck.?ÿ It had rode there for 20 miles, 15 of that at 75mph down the interstate.
I just got a new truck and it has a hard tonneau cover on it. I'm finding it way too easy to put stuff on top of it. Hopefully I can cure myself of that before learning the hard way.
On the plus side for you, I don't think you'll be setting anything on the bumper for awhile.
