Many times in Maryland, the only state I can speak for, a police officer can open that vehicle with an opening tool, get security for that property to do it or utilize a Locksmith or Tow Truck Driver to do it and failing all of that, they can use a baton to break the window out to rescue the dog. Just saw it two weeks ago as a matter of fact.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00504798476827627332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3494059002534751.post-58850734427219100852008-05-06T21:48:00.000-07:002008-05-06T21:48:00.000-07:00Yes, great insights.

They are a bit larger than your standard soccer-mom van, yet still compact enough to get reasonable mileage (about 20 on the hwy) and unobtrusively tuck away in most environments. I have urban camped everywhere from downtown nyc to remote hotel parking lots. Do be careful in more urban settings though. While in NYC two guys tried breaking in to my vehicle around 5am one morning. Fortunately, when I set off my van alarm they just took off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3494059002534751.post-76316993723140384592008-04-19T18:24:00.000-07:002008-04-19T18:24:00.000-07:00One thing though!

But, I like being minimalist, so it works for me.urban vandwellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13537100746328669085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3494059002534751.post-69902418912053407122008-04-19T08:14:00.000-07:002008-04-19T08:14:00.000-07:00Great entry!

I'm still humming and hawing about what kind of van to get, and the picture of your Aerostar got me kind of excited, because I saw one for sale exactly like it yesterday for about $1K! It's a total stealth soccer mom van!! LOLJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07773179411217515712noreply@blogger.com
