Telescope on board sign

We have all seen those novelty yellow signs on the back of cars (you know "Baby on board") but has anyone seen one that says something like:

Telescope on board

I would love one for my car!

Could be good advertising to get expensive optical gear stolen from your
car too. However no, I've never personally seen one

Kind of like http://www.sirius-optics.com.au/stickers_decals.htm ?

A year ago when my house was broken into, they took most of my cameras, laptops, and jewellery but left the 10" LX200GPS that was set up in my office. They obviously were not prepared for that type of haul.

Funny you should mention that.
When I got my new scope yesterday, they threw in a decal of a Dob for the car.
I put it on this afternoon.

Perhaps they did have some intelligence, a 10" LX200GPS does not easily
fit into a backpack. However I'm sorry for your loss, and know how you feel.
