1. car alarm - with starter kill
2. detachable steering wheel
3. tap into the following -use toggle to kill
a. clutch harness
b. fuel pump
c. cylinoid

these kill switches can be hidden anywhere in the car -

kills are the best for any car. There was a vid from Africa that BMW's had a Flamethrower option for security and it was legal!

Posted by turbo50 (Member # 6700) on :

Garage it or they will get it.

Never take it to watch the movies unless it is a drive in.

Posted by N8 (Member # 6048) on :

dont forget the classic replace your door handle bolt with (locking)carrier bolts. A lot of the times they get in through those cheap ass door handles.

Also if you have other vehicles block in your stang. Another thing I did was a motion activated security system. That I can check online (I know I am pretty nerdy sometimes) [Razz]

. Plus motion sensor lights. I also have dogs that go off when anyone is near my driveway.

that's retarded, you can pull any plug wire and put it on the coil and it will run fine on 7.

pull the rotor out and put it in your pocket, I do that whenever I have to leave my car at any big parking lot.

Posted by venomous99 (Member # 1917) on :

remove your door rod as one can easily pop open your door through under your door handle.
also add a metal plate to the hood latch to prevent fools from reaching from under the car to pop your hood.

the hidden fuel switch and disconnecting the computers ground(believe its located near the batter and looks like a round connector) are things i would do.

I've seen dummy coil wires before, its easy to miss and would keep them guessing. Of course no way to disable a tow truck, thats what happened in my case.

Posted by Xhighway (Member # 8570) on :

I'm definitely in the market for ways to keep my car from getting stolen.

So what do you guys think? Is LoJack worth it?

Posted by 93PONY (Member # 60) on :

Garage + Switch on garage door opener to disable it + big-ass lock so it can't be opened by hand.

Posted by 87#184saleen (Member # 6276) on :

Haha I like how he passes up the GT vert and goes for the Probe-a

Posted by solbrothers (Member # 7524) on :

a garage is a great way to keep your car safe, but cars are stolen from garages too. the best way to keep your car from getting stolen, is to sell it.

if someone wants your stuff bad enough, they'll do whatever the need to, to get it.

It's not such a good idea to post up all your anti-theft tricks since EVERYONE in the fucking world (including thieves) can read this thread. [Wink]

If you don't want to get your shit stolen then park it in your garage. Doesn't matter what you have on your car... if they want it then they will just tow it away [Smile]

well if you read the tips no one goes into detail on where they place the kill switches.....soooo no one will know that.
thieves already know about car alarms - guns, dogs, garages, lo jack ...etc....
this thread is for peeps who dont know about any other methods than an alarm.

NOT TRUE, THATS ONLY THE BASE MODEL THAT YOU MAY HAVE TO WAIT 24 HOURS. BUT THATS ONLY BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO TRANSMIT THE INFO TO THE P.D TO PUT THE CAR ON THE LOJACK LIST. EVERY CITY HAS SO MANY PARTOL CARS WITH THE LOJACK SYSTEM IN THEM AND THEY ARE THE ONES THAT LOOK FOR THE VEHICLES.

BUT !!

IF YOU PAY THE EXTRA 1000(OR CLOSE TO) PLUS THE MONTHLY FEE I THINK 30 BUCKS A MONTH FOR THE EARLY DETECTION OPTION THAT AS SOON AS YOUR CAR IS STARTED W/O YOUR PERMISSION THEY TRACK THE CAR VIA SATALITE.

AND I BELIVE THOSE THINGS HAVE A REMOTE BACK UP BATTERY, SO DISCONNECTING THE BATT WILL DO NOTHING.

YEAH ITS USELESS IF YOU GET THE CHEAP VERSION
