we have a nice shotgun at our house (870P) with all the "trimmings" but i think shooting someone for stealing is a lil extreme. Maybe id shoot up the tires on their car or something, or maybe not, i dont know. My brother is a cop, and constantly patrols my neighborhood so im not too preoccupied with theft, that and i park my car in the locked garage.
Fuck all theives. All of y'all mother fuckers, fuck you, die slow motherfucker. My four four make sure all your kids don't grow.

IIRC, even if you get full coverage, you'll only get the market value of your foxbody...right?

Its just common sense like all these guys braggin about im get lojack...come on use your head lojack is not meant to be known if the theives know you have it they can just look for it and throw it out lol....lojack website says they have a service that will call you anytime your car alarm goes off I suggest you get that!!!and stop telling everyone about what you have even alarm systems geezzz!!!!
then why did GM make OnStar an obvious security feature with window decals and the obvious rear view mirror button indicating you have it?
whatever you can do to deter thieves, do it! instead of handing it to them on a silver platter, make them think about it...at the very least. and the time it takes them to look for the "brain" of any security system, is time that slows these fucks down...
I never said don't get it by all means get it read my post again. LoJack is not the "brain" of a security system its a secondary system it doesn't lock the car or do a kill start lol research on it before you quote me and tell people the opposite of what LoJack will tell you! Lol if you don't believe me call them your self LoJack is not onstar and again it can be taken out by a which would make it useless so don tell people you have lol

I dont believe i mentioned anything about unlocking or starting a car, simply to get anything and everything you can to secure your vehicle to slow thieves down...your other post pretty much was downplaying lojack, which i disagreed.

So what happens now? We all delete our accounts and hide our cars? Stop trying to network with fellow enthusiasts? Its fucked up that a few assholes have to ruin it for everybody, but its part of life. I realize I'm a new member here, and I have a stock ass car, but I have enjoyed the couple meets I've attended quite a bit. It may be time for CAfords 2.0, make it a pay site where say 5 people have to vouch for you bbefore you're invited in. That's just an idea off top of my head, but I'm just as frustrated as the rest of you. I drive a fully insured S197, but have had cars stolen before, and its a terrible thing to go through, lets do something about keeping our online community and hobby alive

I agree never post your license plate, even if you have a cool custom one, don't tell anyone about your security features if you have them or not and trust no one with where you live that means if your selling something meet them somewhere away from your house.

Are u serious I wasn't "downplaying" LoJack go back and reread my post lol. I guess you would have to "know" about LoJack more than what someone told you(now I am assuming and putting "words" into your post). LoJack idea is in theft recovery and alSo aids in apprehension of the theif if they are still driving the car or have it stashed. Here's some education on it. When a car is stolen with LoJack it emits a signal that an equipped patrol car can pick up and find the location it's kinda like gps but not in the sense that a computer can use satellite a patrol car has to be in the vacinity. When the car is stolen LoJack will contact the authorities for you and report your car stolen immediately. They has other derives but that is the gist of this lecture lol. You don't see people with LoJack stickers on their car because they highly discourage against it. Again LoJack is a theft deterrent but more of a theft recover device so you get your car back. I'm not "downplaying" it just the facts don't get it twisted. I'm all for it

your right bro, Lojack does not use decals to alert thieves and the silent transceiver is hidden throughout the vehicle...touchee
and yes, popos get "hits" when near a lojack equipped vehicle which was reported stolen...and the strength of the signal indicates how close the turd is...

Read the whole thing dude! You are saying that people get address & locations of cars to steal from a plate #. And like I stated if someone got my plates and got the address to which the car was registered, they would have never found it..... My car was registered to my parents house in south san jose n I lived in Santa clara when it was stolen?! I had been living at that location no more than a few weeks.
My car was at a CaFords meet weeks before it was stolen. My point is simple. And if you can't connect the dots, I'm sorry.
I'm not saying that everyone at these shows or meets are thieves, but they are at these meets and on this forum [ February 01, 2012, 12:43 PM: Message edited by: 1994steeda ]

I think that's what's wrong with this society, when people think it's extreme to kill over theft or to disfigure when other countries they cut off a hand when you steal or kain you for grafiti . if I ever have the opportunity to catch a thief, best believe I putting some holes in them! I might not kill you, but I will makes certain you'll never walk again that's no threat that's a promise ! this country has turned into a bunch of pussies where you take the next mans things to come up ,instead of comming up with your own hustle. And we as a society promote this.

so i guess since thats not how it happened to you that it cant happen ever. do what you want , it was thrown out there as a suggestion for a preventative measure to help keep cars from being stolen. apparently you have it all figured out
