need anti theft help
January 1st, 2008
:confused:My wife ended up with Pneumonia Christmas day and the 26th we ended up with her in Barnes Hospital in St Louis Mo. ( 130 miles away). After spending 2 nights in her room I desperately wanted a shower and a night in a bed instead of a chair so I checked into marriott courtyard on jefferson and Market. Parked in the handicap space in front of the main lobby entrance. Sat Morning go out and find my doors open, the door handles and locks were torn up and the inside trashed along with pieces of asphalt thrown all over the inside. Looked like someone had emptied potting soil in the seats, floorboards, etc along with chunks the size of cantelopes. I need a way to keep this from happening again. I spent the last 2 nights in the hospital room again. apparrently they have this happen often since the gal at the front desk asked me if they took anything or just trashed my vehicle. I read 4 or five years ago that someone made some type of plate that goes inside the door behind the door handle that keep these low life scum from prying out the handle and unlocking the door. I need to know where to get them. I never expected to need anything like this, ( I'll only be 50 tomorrow) but my wife and i both got terminal diagnosis this year and it looks like we are going to be making a lot of these trips for however long we last. we have already ended up @ the hospital in St Louis 6 times this last year. Got to go back Friday. Reason i am staying at Mariott is becAUse my Bro inlaw has several million points accumulated up and he is paying for the room ( good only at marriotts) for us when one of us needs it while the other is in the hospital. I need to know how to stop this breaking in. After i saw that she was getting more stable Sat i drove down to Arnold to a car wash and cleaned out the truck. took me all afternoon, plus had to take her clothes that were in the truck to the cleaners because they were a disgusting mess. If anybody knows where I can get this anti theft deterent let me know. When I got back to the hospital garage from the hotel i locked the truck not thinking about the locks being torn up on the outside of the doors. Her door zapper died years ago so I gave her mine. If we hadn't had her keys with the zapper in her room I wouldn't have been able to get back in the truck since locks were trashed. I have to hit the zapper button several times till it finally manages to jack the buttons up enough to unlock the door. :confused:. Any help would be appreciated. I searched the threads but could only find about kill switches. I know I heard about this plate from a TDR'r .
