While at university I managed to get a contract to temporarily install covert CCTV recording equipment to catch staff stealing from a chain of UK retailers.

I wasn't making much money until I discovered I could park outside a local swimming baths, sleep in the car, and then wake up for a swim and a shower in the morning. Sadly as soon as I locked the car, the alarm was set. If I turned over during the night, the car alarm would go off.

Couldn't you just lock the car by using the internal lock mechanism (e.g. individual locks on the doors)?
wat.

I'm guessing you mean you "made money" because you saved on rent?

My car has a pretty hidden switch in the door to disable the alarm for interior motion, I was super excited to find it for this very reason.
