all this mustang theft is crazy, but one thing i.see alot of you guys doing is posting pics of your cars with the license plate clear as day. cover that shit. its not hard to get an address of.where a car is registered. used to be back in the day no one would ever show their plate numbers, go read a few recent.picture threads... 90% are not covered up. your just making.it.that much easier for these fuckers shopping.these forums...

indeed. limit yourself on posting pics of your cars and if your going to blur out the plates, you might as well blur out the background too which can indicate your location as well...
and "mustang sighting" threads with locations GOTS TO GO.

At the same time get a house with a garage before you dump a lot of money in your cars. Plus a decent alarm system and other anti-theft device.
Foxbody cars are easy to steal as there's no factory anti-theft system in place. An alarm wont stop all theifs but it will stop the low-budget ones who pop the lock and break the steering column.
Also Lojack should be a must if you drop thousands in your car and leave it parked outside.

also if your selling your.car, dont do the deal at your goddamn house. not only will they come back later and just take it for.free, they will have plenty of time to see what other shit they may want. i know there has been a few of these situations recently

The Mustang community in northern CA is fairly small. Cars, names, and faces are pretty recognizable. People talk.
Protect yourself. Hide those plates in images, use anti-theft devices, don't photograph your car and have your house number showing in the background. be smart.
Theives will go for the easier stuff first.

yeah it would be suicide to post pics of license plates if youre stang aint garaged. for the fortunate folks that have a garage like myself we can post away...if you're able to get into the garage feel free to ransack the rest of the house while you're at it.

I was just at pacific stereo yesterday and asked out of curiosity how much they charge to add on tilt sensors onto existing alarms. He told me its 60 out the door so anyone interested in keeping their cars I suggest you get one of the many good alarms out there with the 2 way pager and get the tilt censors installed atleast front and back some do all four corners if they have rims. Get a alarm with the highest mile radius you can get. Relocated your battery. Our a hood pin on your alarm as well so if your hood gets popd some how it will trigger the alarm. If you guys park on the street try and get a parallel parking spot in between 2 cars so a tow truck can't get your shit.

That's true cause pics of the Grey coupe and the black hatch have been posted in the last couple weeks...this shit is crazy it's really sad that you can't drive these things or leave them outside without being touched even if its just a cd player being stolen...

You know what man if someone wants to try and steal your car then they are going to do it anyways or at least attempt to. Yeah posting plates in pics isn't the best idea but really man crime is crime and criminals are criminals. You think I can't find out your info without your plate? You think I can't follow you home from a car meet? You think I can't respond to your sale ad and not see what you drive? You think if I ask your boy he won't brag about your car or what area you live in? It's easy to do some recon if you really want someones stuff or to learn their routine. Thieves are thieves they aren't always smart but they definitely keep trying. You can do a lot to prevent theft but at the same time having your plate in a picture isn't gonna be the key factor to them taking your ride. If someone wants to try they can try but I'm not gonna be worried about what pics of my car are out there.

Even if they did all they need is to setup a email address to access the "password" protected information. 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...

deleted the quote since you deleted yours.....
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.
