Theres that bar that goes across the steering wheel, and a good alarm is always good, but I would just make sure to have insurance for what you have into the car, I mean its better to be saft then sorry

I've oftened wondered if you could use a line lock when you park the car and instead of a button release,connect the wires to a lock cylinder? One more layer of protection.Anyone try this ?

^^^ My dad was telling me a few weeks back how one of his friends did that back in the day. I think Im going to do the same. Just hide the button somewhere. Nobody will know whats going on. Especially when the alarm is going off.

after seeing all the threads latley of stolen fbodys, i was thinking of intslling a hidden fuel pump switch, just tapping into the fuel pump power

I think that's what that Revelco does....cuts power to just about everything,probably a great idea but I remember looking into before and it was a bit expensive.

All these methods are good but they wont protect squat from a tow truck or a flat bed. That how mine was take from my driveway.

good luck getting my car on a flatbed from inside my garage with my alarm going off without me knowing about it...

^^its not a guarantee that someone will try to steal it from your garage...dont you ever park it anywhere else? But, a good alarm should do good...I want a Viper 791 that has that key frob that vibrates if someone is ******* with ur car, I heard that it works from 1/2 mile away

The brake lock thing is a good idea too. It pretty tough to get around. i had to cut a brake pedal pad off a civic to release it.

at home it's in the garage with the door down always, and at work it's in a garage on video

my alarm is a Viper Responder 5900 that's good up to a mile away. it has a little screen on the remote that will actually show you what sensor went off. it beeps and vibrates.

granted, it's not a guarantee, but it is good insurance that they'd move on to an easier target. and if not, that's why i have full coverage insurance

Pulling the fuel pump relay would prevent amateurs.

the line lock idea is good but you'll be replacing solenoids quite often since they are only supposed to be locked for 60 seconds

You could install a master cutoff switch... The one with the big, red "T" handle that you can take with you. Install a kill switch for the fuel pump and ignition source... Or you could just mount an empty gunrack.... Oh, wait, you live in California... Can't have guns or rational thought.... I'd just move...J/K

If that's true, then I hope to God no one looks in my closet... hehe.

Gun laws are strict though, but oh well. It's not like I can afford a fully automatic machine gun or a .50 cal anyway.
