    Default Steal Cobra, throw in the trash

    I am not one for theft but since we seem to be having so many problems w/ Cobra rd's causing k and ka band falses, I say you see one in a vehicle that is left unlocked/unattended in a parking lot and no one is around (make sure), take it, the cord and mount out and throw them in the trash can. PROBLEMS ALL SOLVED!. Sorry guys I just had to vent.

    Or just aim it at the sky and they should cause a little less problems.

    All you have to do is steal the cord and leave the Cobra on the windshield. This will solve the leakage problem and it won't have any adverse effects on the Cobra's ability to detect radar. Plus, the owner probably won't even notice.

    He will notice when he crashes in a door opener, cobras help them avoid running into them.

    Every other car in my county would be broken into. It's an all to common sight...Black dried out suction cups holding up a cobra aiming at 75deg. and only one suction cup is sticking.

    It should be illegal to own one of them.

    We need to hire a cop to go into Radioshack and tell the store owners that Cobras are illegal and that the cop will arrest the owner if he doesn't fork over the Cobras to the cop.
