I was wondering how many V1 owners take down their V1 when they park or do they just leave it up. I had a RD stolen in the 80's, they broke the side window and everything to steal it.

All depends where I am parking, generally I leave it up.
V1 including the suction cups come down
as well as my GPS and its suction cup comes down every night as well as any instance in which I will not be close enough to monitor my car.
Take it down is my vote
(If I was running in an out of a store to buy a soda or lottery ticket I would leave it up)
Safe than sorry my friends.

Since most of my parking areas are safe I leave it up. I've got reserved parking at the airport but it's dark in there so I pull everything when I leave. the V1 goes in it's case and into a storage bin in the back with my scanner.
Note: On really hot summer days I take the V1 out store it in it's case. I know it can take the heat but I just can't leave a nice piece of electronics baking if I can avoid it.

Some hot blonde looking at me, its up!
I leave mine up 99% of the time in all seasons. IF I am on vacation and have to leave my car in a parking lot or garage for an overnight or more, then I lock it up. My V-1 is mounted pretty stealth above left of RVM behind tinted dots..hardwired around/behind trim.....
V-1 vs. Constant On Ka-Band in Cadillac MI
here is where mine is located/mounted in a recent video detecting constant ka-band
Ever since I mounted it using the flat wire, mine can only be seen from the front or back if you're looking for it.
I leave it up at work, since I can see my car. I only take it down if it's hot outside and the sun is beating down.
Sometimes I leave it up if I'll be gone for an hour or two from the car, but generally, I'll take it down. I probably leave it up more now since I am not using the curly wire.
