The best thing is really knowing your surroundings and maybe a locked garage. Theives can basically bypass all security methods or roll up in a tow truck to take your poor R. Good insurance always helps.

A garage, a safe place to park the car.

I refuse to debadge my car or do anything to it cosmetically to detract theives. Of course I let my nasty war wounds from my accident in December stay around for quite a while.

You can only do so much by layering security, etc.

If someone wants it, they can flatbed it away.

I'd re-route your hood latch/cable as a start.

tape razor blades under door handle when you leave, put syringe in driver seat (when you have been mysteriously stuck by a syringe..what are you going to do :roll: drop what you are doing and run like a fucker to the nearest hospital)

if you want to get really seriuos..mix equall parts of amonia and bleach in a container and leave that in your car over night...you should find the perp passed out..possibly dead..in the driverseat (disclaimer: dont do this)
When the cops asked why you left a mustard gas bomb in your car...tell them you were cleaning your dash and must of forgot the solution in the car (disclaimer:do not clean your dash with bleach and ammonia solution :lol: )

Or you can just practice your second amendment rights

depending on whereyou live...I've heard lo-jack works great

http://www.lojack.com/

the best defense is a bright and fast blinking LED and The Club....if theives look and see that they have to bypass an alarm and hack off a club....thats enough time to slap a clip in the 45 and introduce yourself and your weapon to the thieve(s).....i also have a 120 lb rotty and she keeps people away when the car is at my house

Doesn't mess up anything at all.

It only takes a few seconds, if you've done it a couple of times.

I'm not sure how effective this would be as a security measure, but it doesn't take long and it doesn't "mess things up." LOL...

I'm sure you're joking.

But, just in case somebody's thinking of things like this, you'd better check with your local police.

There are many times you can be held liable for damage caused by a "trap" used in this fashion. Depends on local rules.
