There always had to be a man on watch, because Apaches were great horse thieves, though not a patch on the Comanches, who could steal a horse from under you whilst you sat in the saddle. You either kept watch or you found yourself afoot; and in the desert, unless you're almighty canny, that means you're dead.
(from The Lonely Men, by Louis L'Amour)
