As we all know having a mustang can be nerve racking sometimes especially with all the low life that are around and like to steal cars unfourtanatly most of us own foxbodys which seem to be the most sought out mustang to steal if you have a garage to put it in you sleep well but if you don't it's hard to sleep and let's not talk about going out and parking it unattended and even if you where to get full coverage how much could you possibly get knowing this cars aint worth much as far as blue book goes so what is we are suppose to do to keep are cars safe and prevent us from losing $$$??

stockton is pretty bad place to own a car, didnt they have the crown for most stolen cars at one time? First thing for you is to move outta there...if possible of course.
cant do much to keep thieves away all in all...those a$$clowns are everywhere.

You could like put a sign up. But like a large one that says, No stealing. Maybe they will think twice.
But really if they want it, they will take it.

I don't think kill switches do any good I guess if they want it they'll take it just the plain and simple!

I would say a kill switch,an open window and a 9mm will do the trick... ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

exactly! and dont let people know where the hell you live. i bet 90% of the cars stolen are by people who associate with you or run in the same circles. they know your routine. thats why nobody knows where the fuck i live!

if your being hit by a pro they most likely have an enclosed trailer, to which all safety devices do no good, best defense is behind a fence with a couple pitts in the yard. or a garage.

The sad truth is, the people who steal your car is most likely someone who knows you.

I still laugh when people always talk about how they have guns waiting for thieves,are you really going to give up your freedom over a car? Who will take care of your family while youserve your time? If you look back people that had their cars stolen didn't catch or see no one. They woke up and their cars are gone. Dogs can be poisoned,wheel locks,kill switches are all defeated by tow trucks.
Thieves are opportunistic,The see a easy mark or a careless owner and the jump on it. Best anti theft device is a garage or a lockable heavy gate. Thieves can't steal what they can't see or get too easily.

Why not rent a storage unit if it's not your DD? Then bust it out on weekends or whenever you feel like cruising.

You have to be in imminent danger, like in fear for your life, I don't think someone stealing your car qualifies.

this. you cant murder someone for just sitting in your 5.0. you cant even prove they were stealing the car, they can just say they were going after the radio or something in the car.

just get a thick cable, or chain...wrap that bad boy around your axle, and around a stationary object (pole, beam, another car, etc) and slap the club on, and alarm...
might slow them down enough to grab that pistol, bat, hammer...whatever. after calling 911 of course, or having someone call while you assess...

ok, check it.. My dogs will alert me that some one is outside.. And it would "sound" like someone is breaking into my home.. So I grab my gun to check it out.. And I will beat the shit outta him.. He will not come back.. Not to mention he had "dark metal looking object that resembled a gun" it was dark.. So thats ur imminent danger.. Im not saying I would kill someone over a car, I can always buy another.. But better believe that thief wont come back.. But, dude u act like u wont grab your gun if somebody trying to jack yo shit.. Atleast to scare em off.. Lol..
