When my house was broken into a few years back, my 10" Meade LX200 was left untouched. Of course, it was fully assembled on a wedge at the time :p

My 10" Dob has been sitting in full view, with only a top and bottom cover on the tube, outside my daughters place since the begining of March. No one has come near it. Mind you, I have to move it two pieces
That's why I like living in small towns, you can keep cities. Concrete jungles.
