...Don't get it stolen....
Lo-jack is the best theft protection out there,
but deterring the thieves is best. have the vin # etched on the glass, and
engrave it behind all the panels, bottom insides of the fenders, and everywhere
it won't show.Have a little sign that tells them you did this and hang it in the
drivers window when you leave the car. If they can't change the vin, and all the
major parts are engraved(by hand,don't pay) what can they do? If you sell the
car, the new owner will appreciate it, and if you keep it, its safe. well of
course, add an alarm, a club, a brake club, a flashing light and alarm sticker;
most definitely make sure they can't open the hood;That's the key to stripping
it. There are other rules too, don't leave it at 7-11 overnight, or on the side
of the road. screw the tow charge. Even if it cost $200 to get it
home->that's less than the cost of a new hood. Be determined to stop them. Be
sure they will try to steal it. I have a neighbor who brags about being a
criminal, he tells me what these guys look for. I think the chances of getting
your ride returned are usually slim. Don't let it happen in the first place. Oh,
I guess that's four cents... Enjoy your ride. :-Diane
P.S. if the thief can reach your battery he can drill a hole in it
and come back shortly when the battery & alarm is dead. Best keep a second
battery in the trunk as an alarm backup. I use an old 12volt cordless drill
battery on a second alarm(the one I set when I leave it in a parking lot.) Try
to think like a thief... good luck out there.
