My band has a saying: "the gig ain't over until the equipment is in
the garage."  (And the money is in the pocket)

We call it the rolling green room, and it's tons o fun to travel and hang out in.  When I get it home, I ALWAYS bring my amps, harp case and mic case inside - no matter what.  I live in a very safe neighborhood, but a few years ago some dimwit tweaker took some tin snips to the driver side door on my pickup truck and cut a 4" diameter hole around the door lock right outta the exterior door skin! - all to get a $25 CD player! That cost me a $500 deductible to fix.   After that, I don't leave anything in my cars - especially my music gear.  Plus, I don't like to leave gear in the cold anyway.
