A few years ago I was running my 2 inch scale Minnie at an event and needed to take a leak, I drove over to a quiet corner of the field where there was a port a potty, parked the engine literally next to the door and nipped in, Did not take more than 30 seconds and came out to see a 400 lbs plus woman I had never seen before sitting on my trailer with her hand on the regulator and her partner taking video, Ever since I have made absolutely sure none of my engines are ever unattended. even very briefly.
Over here ours is such a niche hobby that few thieves would likely know what they were dealing with, let alone the value,None the less my models usually get taken home every night and chained in my trailer to deter casual thieves,
