Since both Laura and Stevie were known to not lock their doors when they were passenger’s in Vicki’s or my cars (in much the same manner that fish are known to like to swim in water)

Or maybe we stopped doing that when we were 5.

They target cars with GPS brackets, because most people leave the bulky thing inside the car. Even if they just steal the documents (to modify a stolen car and make it into a legal clone of yours) it is a pain. Here in Belgium we’re having a break-in wave.

Worst case scenario I can recall the PTR to copy it to a new logbook...but everything since, including little personal annotations for things like PJY, OSH, first-passenger flights, notable passengers, etc...would be all lost. I think I'll start keeping my flightbag in the house except when I'm actually planning to fly.

If you lost the book, you've lost a lot of memories, but also you've lost your last proof that you actually deserve that certificate in your pocket.

Replacing a logbook and all the entries in such would be a frustrating experience. And the person who stole it would probably just throw it in the trash in the end.
