Prevent Car Theft Thread!
After reading all the posts and seeing the news. I think we need to start a thread to give Tips and Tricks on car security-
My contribution-
1. Cover last 8 of vin #
2. Relocate hood Cable!!(Mainly Civic)
3. Kill switch of somesort.
4.Removable Wheel
5. Remember, most alarms are very, very easily bypassed (no power-no alarm)
I can think of more later. I have installed alarms for a long time (more as a hobby) I can tell you very few alarms are not easily bypassed. The keyed, self powered siren (140db i think) is a very good addition to any alarm. Doesn't go off accidently and CANNOT be cutoff with out the key (coke machine type key, on the siren itself). Even with a big fucking hammer!
Just an idea?

*edit* You can not easily tow a lowered civic with-out damage and noise!
IMO- They are "pushing them" to where they won't be noticed as much when they start.
ps. I am from fairfax (land of endangered vehicles) and have had many nice cars- I have only had a garage for 8 months. I have never had anything stolen-
