so my dad thinks that i'm bull shitting him that a lot of fox's get stolen and won't allow me to get some protection for the the house. Give a +1 if you had your ride stolen to convince his stubborn ass.

By "protection for the house" do you mean you want to buy a gun?

---

just in general like camera's, dog, low jack or that too. And theres prob been 10 mustangs stolen alone in the past year on this site.

a gun isn't going to protect your car from being stolen,it can get you in tons of trouble though, lets say a thief comes at night and attempts to take your car.You run out an shoot him,being that he is most like unarmed you get tried for manslaughter/murder and end up going to prison or worse you end up getting into a shootout and yourself or one of your loved ones ends up getting killed.

best way to keep your car from being stolen
~decent alarm/gps tracking
~kill switches /ignition/fuel
~block your car in at night
~park in a locked garage/behind a gate
~scribe some identifying marks on your parts,initials and dl number or last 4 numbers of your ss number.
~vin etching your glass

Remember if a thief REALLY wants your car they will get it,they will catch you off guard or just drag you out of it at a stop sign or red light.

Agreed Phonso. IMHO, the best thing you can do is make it difficult for them. Thieves are opportunistic just like the rest of us.

How many people here have had their car stolen? Probably many.

How many people have had their car stolen who had an alarm, a kill switch, some physical anti-theft device like an Autolock, parked in a garage, etc... Probably not many.

I was reading about crime statistics the other day and LoJack was mentioned. The book stated that ~2% of the population has LoJack installed in their cars, but they've noticed that an increase of 1% of cars with LoJack tends to decrease auto theft by ~20%. Pretty cool

+1 for Lojack. It's probably the best protection you can buy. 9 times out of 10 a stolen Mustang is going to end up in either EPA, Oakland, or San Jose. All three have their patrol cars equipped with Lojack sensors.

I tried to report it stolen but the police can't do anything because it was basically a non performance of contract or non payment. They told me to go to civil court but couldn't do that for some time. I recently tried to locate him but as far as i know his house had foreclosed and his shop was shut down. Again, expensive lesson to learn young....trust no one....even with a contract and title still in your name. Its prob parted out by now anyway since he cant register it.

---

since he burned you like that spit his name out maybe someone here knows his whereabouts and pm's you some info on him....

Posted by 89nevermind (Member # 4574) on :
 
His name is AARON DIXON....his member name is something like 87TTopMustang i think, its been awhile.

If anything, I just hope no one else on here gets burned by him. My good friend posts on here and has told me that there are a few unhappy people with him on this board. I will try to upload a photo of the mustang and maybe somebody has seen it. Longshot, but i guess you never know.

Yup thats him. He did a lot of work for me too, i was always out at that shop. I might have ran into you at some point.

Posted by JOEFOX87 (Member # 8331) on :
 
Well just remember that if you shoot him, make sure you bury him somewhere else. Hey no body no case. Make sure you are gone before the cops come. Easy enough!!! Make sure u and your dad have the same story. Ah, yes officer, heard some shots nearby, don't know what happened.

foxes get stolen a lot here in norcal. you can always tell when the dick heads get out of the hoosgow too. theft will be way up, then vanish for a while, then comes back with a storm. as for protection, the best is a garage and/or detachable steering wheel. but if they want your car bad enough, they will get it so get good insurance

He must have read the post, because he contacted me and is trying to make things right. He sounds honest, so I hope its true. I will keep you guys posted.

It was your vague message in the original post

"so my dad thinks that i'm bull shitting him that a lot of fox's get stolen and won't allow me to get some protection for the the house. Give a +1 if you had your ride stolen to convince his stubborn ass."

That is why we assumed a gun. No one would assume land mines. Though you could have meant nunchuks too I guess.

---

You never heard of a home alarm? I think that classifies as "protection for the house". Man the assumptions you guys leap to on here sometimes
