Any good thief knows the "telltale" signs of a radar detector or
CB -- velcro strips on the dash, or a slide mount under the dash.
A few years ago, during the CB craze, if you had a slide mount under
your dash and left your car in a stinko area, you could count on
finding your trunk lock jimmied.

The solution: SpeedMark of Cambrdige, MA makes this neat little
device called a "Glass Clip" -- an aluminum bracket with two suction
cups on one side and adhesive on the other.  Stick it on the rear
portion of your Escort, and then "clip" it to the windshield.  
When you take it down, there is absolutely no indication that it
was ever there.  I've had one for about six months and love it --
it keeps the Escort within easy reach, leaves no indications that
I have it, and it provides a shock-absorbent mount for the little
guy.  

SpeedMark has an 800 number (that I don't remember) but they are
on Alewife Brook Parkway, Cambridge, MA 02138; they do take phone
orders if you want to get one.  They run about $21 but are well
worth it, considering that each rip-off costs you $245 plus damage
to your car.
