I occasionally park in areas where break-ins are frequent, so I don't leave anything of value in my vehicle. Especially a gun.
I'd say the one I use most often is a roll of paper towels.
I also like to keep a LED headlamp in my console. Nothing worse than changing a tire at night, or looking under the hood and not having both hands free.

Jumpstarter stays pretty much all the time. Everything else varies and I have bags I move between vehicles. I never leave without some sort of bag loaded with "stuff".

Someone jumped my truck last week with one of those lithium starters. He pulled it out his console and I was thinking there’s no way this will work.
I’d like to get one for our vehicles.

For you guys with the jump starter, how often do you charge it? Santa brought me one of these Dewalt air compressor starter gizmo’s but I have yet to use it.... and I wonder if it is safe to just throw in the back and wait until I need it.
