What

do you want to take a preemptive strike? Wouldn't one actually have to steal a car first to be a car thief?

My next best answer is...garage, keep your truck in one.

Condoms are good protection

A garage won't help, just last week one of the local classic car collectors here had his pristine 1958 Chevy Impala stolen out of his garage.

it's funny that you say that . My buddy came by yesterday and told me him and his brother in law beat the $#!* out of 3 guys who tried to steel his brother in law's restored Ranchero out of his garage .

buy a boot. i don't know how much they are but it would be worth it.

maybe not for the dd but for the trailer queen that is sitting on the street. it sucks that we live in this kinda world but protect your investment before they become a statistic.

I once bought a gaggle of Bosch relays...while searching for wiring diagrams I came upon a site that listed a bazzillion security measures you could take with relays.

No, I don't remember the site...sorry.

What's the deal...y'all have lot of tweakers around there? Around here it's mostly big trucks that are stolen...trucks that can be taken to Mexico to haul drugs or illegals back into Az.

neighbor hood watch is good out here but probably not so much in cali, point is, get to know your neighbors, let them know you want to help them and them help you watch your

everyone in my area knows nobody drives Glens yota besides Glen so if they see Glens truck going down the hwy with some unknown dude behind the wheel , well to be honest dude's probably gonna get shot by one of my neighbors/friends

the cops here all know my truck as well, from the cop that worked my wreck to the guys that have watched me drive into a ditch so the ambulance or cop car could get by me, ive done it once not too long ago and as i was getting to town a tow truck driver waved me down , he stopped and asked me "hey are you the blue toyota that took the ditch for the ambulance?", i thought it was awesome that they thought I would need help.

not to mention i have fuel and ignition cut off's in strange and unusual places

A flat tire and No battery are the best theft deterrent for stored vehicles

There is a shop in a bad part of Houston, and the owner parks all the vehicles inches apart, and lets the air out of two tires on each vehicle.

My Jeep when I was in High School had an ignition cut off hidden in the dash. Easily accessible if you knew where it was. Just have to get creative.

But at that point it's breaking an entering. You are more likely to get away with deadly force then. "they were in my house officer, i was afraid for my life"

We have that in our neighborhood, but the problem is, we are all asleep at 2:30 in the morning.

my favorite is just a simple ignition kill or batt kill switch......anyway you look at it, if they want your truck there going to get it.. just keeps the crackheads away from easy pickens......hell i leave my keys in my trucks, guess thats the good thing bout liven round here

Lowjack for recovary.
Make a relay/switch that disconets ground to the ecu or main relay so it cant be hotwired or starterjumped bla bla. or make the main rely assessable so u an pull it at night. ( EFI sorry carpotatos guys)
if garge kept or other maybe a big

bike lock in a wheel ( cheaper then a police boot )

Steve_925 · « **Reply #24 on:** Sep 16, 2009, 09:53:28 PM »

i like having a kill switch wired to the coil. then you can hear them when they sit there turning it over but wont start. when i had my runner and i went to partys or the bar i would take my coil wire off and hide it.

brockbuilt85 · « **Reply #25 on:** Sep 16, 2009, 09:56:34 PM »

have a busted fuel pump. also it doesnt hurt the thing is parked outside my bedroom window

axled89 · « **Reply #26 on:** Sep 16, 2009, 09:58:58 PM »

it would be nice to have a after market g.p.s system on board for the fact that it his happening so much there.
and be able to turn it on by remote/ a code from the police when somthing like that happens.
i don't know if they have that but i'm sure they do.

A $5.00 well placed toggle switch will do wonders for anti-theft protection. the best place to hide it is in plain site. Wire it to your hazard switch or something like that.

back your rig in your garage or park space and lock with chain and master lock the shifters in reverse and low. Or put the shifters in neutral and take them out and to bed with u. Take ur coil wire to bed with u too. Then u will be like duffil and have a whole parts store under your bed.
