Would you put name plates on your rig?

[BonMallari]

I train with a guy that has the dog's names on the boxes, it helps when he tells me to go get dog_______...I am guessing that he also has his tool box in the garage labeled and clearly marked...some people are just more OCD than others, or just plain organized

For us that have chassis mount, toppers and trailers we can't HIDE! Poeple in the hunting world should have some idea whats in your truck.
so why would name plates be so bad?

Along with the names, I worry about people trying to feed them something thru the door or putting something in the water. But, maybe I worry too much.

Best way to make sure nobody steals your dog out of its box is to have Chessies in those boxes.

Only one of the holes has to have a chessie in it. Ask me how I know this!

I'm far from a tech guy but ,about a year ago I had an idea to use those sensors like you mention on home windows,or the garage door style electric eye's and when the beam was interrupted it would alarm , but wire it inline with the trucks alarm system with honking horn and vehicle lights flashing. I would think that an audio installation garage could do it as an add on feature.

I sold car alarms back in the day. It would be very easy for an auto alarm installer to add door sensors to each dog door. Some alarms also have a sensor that puts a "bubble" around the vehicle. The sensitivity can be adjusted but you can set it up to warn people of the alarm if they got within a couple feet of the vehicle.
