Trunk Lock

Decatur, Georgia

1995

 

Before we left San Francisco for Georgia, I decided to beef up the locks on the car so our stuff (everything we owned) wouldn't get stolen during our cross-country drive.  Here we see the trunk lid, with its hasp-and-padlock arrangement ensuring that the usual 2-seconds-with-a-crowbar treatment won't get the trunk open.  I got a bunch of tie-downs at the junkyard, so I installed them all over the rear of the car.  They turned out to be very useful for moving large items of furniture.
