Konali: The word is "stalker."

This info was released almost a month ago. Ya'll's hoodlocks and clubs or whatever won't do shit. The best ways to protect an Integra are relocating the hood release cable and placing a fuel cutoff switch in. From factory the hood cable runs inside the fenderwell, which means a thief can rip the lining out, snip the line and pull the cable and your hood is up and your alarm and everything else is useless.

A club won't do anything because they can a) take off your steering wheel or b) pull it off because honestly, that thing does nothing. A fuel cutoff switch that is cleverly hidden in your car will keep the thief from hotwiring your car or using a key if he has one since no fuel = no start. With these two security DIYs, the thief will have to risk the alarm going off for a few seconds before he can clip the wires under your hood and will then have to have a tow truck to move your car.

These two things take 90 mins about to do and will cost your $5.00 max. The key to security is not intimidation. By showing him what you've got like a club or "This car protected by xxxxx alarm" you're telling him what strategies he needs to take. It's hidden, clever and multiple layers of security. The more snags he runs into, the less likely he will continue trying to steal your car and will just go for CDs and money (which you should keep hidden).
