If I was to keep a camera in the car it would either be a disposable or some cheap plastic Kodak with the same tech as a disposable (fixed focus, 1 shutter speed, 1 aperture.)
If I was to keep a camera in the car it would either be a disposable or some cheap plastic Kodak with the same tech as a disposable (fixed focus, 1 shutter speed, 1 aperture.)Insurance companies used to provide a roadside package that included a disposable film camera to record the scene of an accident if you were unfortunate enough.
Remember when Jeep had a deal with Levi's? Their seat materiel wasn't denim but it looked similar to Levi's jeans.
Nikon should have had a Jeep edition Nikonos complete with denim looking plastic on the camera. They could have had commercials with photographers jumping out of their mud covered Jeeps holding mud covered Nikonos cameras. "Nikonos, cameras as hard working and adventurous as Jeeps and Levi's.".
True story. When I last lived in Seattle (early 2000s) there were signs in the Woodland Park reminding everyone that it was against the law to leave valuables in your car. If you reported a car break-in there, you were likely to be cited yourself for "attractive nuisance". Right or wrong, that's the way it was.

I will say that up here, and particularly around Christmas each year, the police make regular requests to everyone to avoid leaving valuables in cars. In particular to avoid leaving valuables in plain sight in cars.
What typically happens if there is a car break-in is that the cost of repairing the damage to the car far exceeds the value of what is stolen.
I've never heard our police referred to as "commies" though.

Thus the need for ventilation.
Is your camera valuable, or is it something that you can afford to loose?
Not that far fetched... In 1970 Agfa offered one of their more simple cameras together with flashcubes packed in a custom-made shoulder-bag made out of denim. It was the hub of a huge marketing ploy together with specially decorated shopwindows, even a spcial shop in one case, dune buggies and such to attract Teens and Twens to camera stores again.

Thus allowing easy break ins.
Thus allowing removal by nefarious means of said camera being ventilated. And whatever else said ventilated car expressed.
It's disappointing to realise cameras we paid buttons for, would cost serious money to replace. Thinking of several clamshell Olympus's - total cost about £20. Most of the desirable stuff was sold to people who clearly wanted the cameras more than I did, from the price they were prepared to pay.I paid $2.14 for my Trip 35, although it would be more expensive to replace now.
I am glad that I choose a camera in my car instead of a firearm.or your daily carry firearm.
So do reactionaries...pretty interesting.Commies like to put all of the blame on the victim.
Me to.I keep an Olympus Trip 35 in the car.
That is my main concern.A camera in clear view is incentive to break into a car.
That is my main concern.
Then the person that took my Nikon F2 finds out that the Pawn Shop will only give them 5 bux for it, and nobody on Craigslist wants it, they may come back and vandalize my car in anger.
