big old car alarm

if you place a 120db siren in a location the theif will HAVE to be to hotwire/drive your car he prolly wont take it.
also have a small back-up battery for it just in case he cuts the original battery to it.

alarms do work.

get the sterring wheel locking thing AND the brake pedal lock (theifs can rip the steering wheel off and drive with screwdrivers if they are talented) but the brake is pretty essential.

I guess you never read my post. I have friends who have nice cars... they have every single device imaginable to try and stop a thief. Their cars were all stolen via a tow truck.

Take your battery with you very few car theives would bring an extra battery with them.

Also if you have access to your ECU you could unplug it. That's what my friend did with his Civic lol.

Start with the simple things, e.g. lock your doors, close your windows, don't leave it running to do a quick errand, etc. And just for kicks, buy and get in the habit of using a steering wheel lock. Certainly couldn't hurt.

You know what they say: the determined ones will get the car. Why make it easier for the scrubs?

i think motion sensor which alerts u via phone calls is best, so i can surprise them with my glock.

In some cases you can't help it. A lot of thieves are starting to use tow trucks as method of stealing cars. Nothing will stop a tow truck from taking your vehicle.

idiots

he WANTS the car to get stolen..... NOT stripped and recovered.... I would want the exact same thing!

I'd never want someone to break into my car and screw it all up... TAKE THE DAMN THING.

Any thief that wants something will take it. Security only slows them down a little bit.


Your best bet is to just get a better insurance policy or a car not worth taking. Yes, it sucks, but that's life.
