Car stolen Everyone, please if you never want your car stolen get one of these installed...
With more than 3.5 million installations since 1976, the Ravelco Anti-Theft Device is the only anti-theft device that has never been defeated. The Ravelco offers an unbeatable combination of sturdy construction, secure technology and ease of use.
How the Ravelco Anti-Theft Device works
The Ravelco acts as a keyed electrical interrupt. The Ravelco base unit is installed in or underneath your dash and the wires are routed into the engine compartment. The Ravelco is wired to various electrical components your engine needs to run (such as the ignition, starter, fuel injection system, fuel pump, engine sensors, etc.). We give the owner the ability to prevent the flow of electricity to those systems by removing the plug from the Ravelco base unit.
100% Effective and 100% Reliable
It's not enough that an anti-theft device is 100% effective in preventing thieves from hot wiring your vehicle. You also need the peace of mind that comes from knowing that each and every time you insert the Ravelco plug, the vehicle will start reliably, ensuring that technology designed to prevent theft doesn't inadvertently prevent operation of your vehicle. The Ravelco is made in the USA of the highest quality metals. The female pins are made out of a memory alloy that always maintains its shape. Ravelco Anti-Theft Devices that were installed 20 years ago are working just as reliably today.
The Ravelco works with other security systems
The Ravelco does not interfere with other alarms or tracking systems installed in your vehicle. No other system is affected by the installation and use of the Ravelco. For owners who want to have multiple layers of protection, an alarm, anti-theft device, and/or a tracking system, the Ravelco is the perfect fit.
Our Lifetime Warranty offers you additional protection
We are so confident in the quality of the Ravelco Anti-Theft Device that we offer a Lifetime Warranty for the original owner. If the system wears out, we’ll replace it for free. Additionally, if your car is subject to a theft attempt, we will come out and ensure your Ravelco is operating normally at no cost. If the unit is damaged during a theft attempt, we’ll replace it for free the first time.

I wonder what the percentage is of car stolen via hotwire vs. tow truck? I'd guess at least 95% are stolen by hotwiring.
Sorry for your loss (if your car was stolen). But I was expecting to read about your story - not an advertisement. Gee, you work for them or something?

It takes a pro to steal our cars. Lets face it, most of us don't have to worry about our cars being stolen. Now as for parts like wheels and stuff then you need the proper security. Most pros steal cars of value, its the same amount of work to take a f-body as a vet. Vet parts are worth alot more.

F-bodies are very easy to break into and steal.
Most "pros" don't know what the hell they're doing, thats why Integras are among the most stolen vehicles.

cars are often stolen so the parts can be sold. prime cash can be had for civic, camry, accord parts. they're also much easier to chop, sell, rebuy, and rebuild. if you're familiar with that process...

Turn the wheel all the way to one side and town truck problem solved. If the tow truck driver asks for the keys and doesn't have them they will wonder whats up.

Uhhh, how much would you like to bet your car CAN be stolen, reguardless of the factory VATS chip, or your extreme firepower?
That's wrong dude. He obviously wants to protect his ride.

As far as cutting the wheels to deter tow trucks, guess again. Some trucks have a lift that pivots, so it can swing the back half of your car to make the front wheels line up straight. The point is, they dont have to get far, just away from you.

Im shocked at the people here that have "plans". It doesn't matter how you turn your wheels for a tow truck. There stealing it, think they care if they cause a lil damage. As for our cars being easy to steal ha! That little chip goes a long way. Easy cars to steal are cars that require a flat head screw driver and a 16 year old punk. Saying our cars are easy to STEAL is not true. If you had all the keys or the equipment to test to see what chip it has it would take you a lil while. If im not mistaken after 3 or 5 trys your computer locks up and it has to go to the dealer.

Luckily where i live i dont have to worry too much on people stealing my car, as all they like are integras and civics, and those shitty corollas! Theres a 40 or 50 year old guy with a hatchback civic must be in his midlife crisis that has like 3 alarms, the steering wheel luck and tire locks, for some ugly as little car, with stickers all over the place. Like somebody in their right mind would want to steel that pos!
