GPS will help you find it but it seems to me having a fuel cutoff switch or kill switch hidden would be the easiset and least expensive route. Yes they will look for it but place a dummy switch in an easy to find place and they will not figure it out. Hope you get it running again.

hahaha...you're right man. I rented a car a couple years ago from a rental place/used car lot too, when my car was getting a repair for a week. They asked how far I was going with it. I said Orlando will be the furthest. He pulled up a website and showed me how he made Orlando my limit. The car would not start if I went out of that area. He said if I do go out of the area they will be notified and they will call the police, but the car will keep running until the next time its turned off. Then it will not restart. I'd lose my deposit, yada, yada, yada....Of course, he said if I need to go further, just to call first.

He also showed me that he can shut down the ignition system any time he wanted to...so make sure I come back on time or call to extend with a credit card before the due date/time for return....lol...He also said he can watch me wherever I go the whole time. He showed me a couple other rentals that were driving around Miami........I wonder if thats legal.....

Funny ****......

True....they will haul *** after messing with the false switch for a minute. But there has to be an alarm going off too.

Hey LS6427,

I did some research on the zoombak and apparently, they have not so good reviews and there customer service is not that great I was looking at the GPS tracker that Escort(the company that makes radar detectors) sells and it looks pretty good. Has your buddy had any complaints about the zoombak?

LS6427

I actually never read any reviews, this GPS tracker thing is new to me really, just learned about it recently.

He has showed me how his Zoombak works....its fast and accurate as hell. Look at the picture in my post on page 4 in this thread. He went to the website, tracked his "GPS receiver" that was in his house...it popped up in 5 seconds and he snapped a picture to post here.

Its almost instant and it will track the receiver as it moves down the road. He got it for his $100,000 race boat for when its parked i nthe water behind his house.

From what I've seen...its a 100% perfect system for tracking. He gets an immediate text and email message that the receiver is on the move. What else can you ask for??? And if GPS signal is lost, it immediately reverts to cell phone tower triangulation.....its accurate as hell.

No way to lose your car.....no way.....As long as you get an alert that the car is on the move. Thats it, the police will have the car in 5 minutes.....

But I'm sure there are other nice systems, maybe even better ones. I just know about this one because its a friend that has it, and from what I've seen.....its exactly what I want.

You obviously don't know about south florida.

I don't mean to offend you but you have absolutely no idea what your talking about. I live 6 miles from the NH border and I have had several run ins with these individuals and they are more than happy to show you what their packing, what ammo their using, holsters. Hey don't get me wrong, I'm as solid a 2A guy is out there but open carry just scares people. Let's just believe for a second your right, but your not, and some guy wlks into best buy with a Glock 20 on the side of his hip. Is that going to make people less nervous because he know that it's unloaded? Or even a more better situation how about a gal has a S&W 686 on her hip unloaded, do you think that the people that would be afraid of these guns would be able to tell it was unloaded? I know I could, but these idiots that are anti-2A don't know the difference between a 380ACP and a 50BMG. These morons hurt our cause by doing it (Open Carry), I'm not saying they don't have the right to do it because they do, for now, but when enough citizens (Liberal progressives) complain, than carrying in NH will either end up either revoked or like Florida where you have to keep it concealed and people are arrested for brandishing when they drop something in a store and when the pick it up some Lib sees the gun and call the police. There was even one of these morons who showed up in Portsmouth NH when Pres. Obama showed up at a town hall meeting wearing a drop leg tactical holster with a loading pistol. Don't believe me google that too. These aren't like empty holster protests on college campuses these guys pack openly and argue will police officers when asked for ID because in NH it is not required to present a LEO ID unless there has been a complaint. Just look up the Ridley Report and type open carry into his search box. He is an internet reporter than follows these guys around and I feel he encourages there asinine behavior. Here's the link just in case you can't find it, I did it for you.

It's that bad eh? It may be time for you to head north..

No, not that I've heard of, and if you can that type of equipment will be quite costly to go steal a friggin American made cheesy car like an F-Body.

But thats why Zoombak uses cell phone towers for triangulation as a back up that immediately kicks in if GPS signal is lost or interfered with....like if they pull into garage or bay......

But still it doesn't matter if they do that and both signals are lost......Zoombak keeps the actually track that the car took to that garage or bay......so the thieves are fucked either way.

You can buy gps and cell jammers online for a couple hundred bucks, but I don't have any personal experience with how effective they are. http://www.jammer-store.com/mobile-j...-blockers.html has several that block gps AND cell.

O2Form

its so dam easy to block the signal, aluminum foil wrapped around anything will block any signal.

JeremyKrauss

that's true, all they have to do is wrap your entire vehicle in aluminum foil, and your gps will be useless.

Cell phone and GPS signals can be blocked , but really guys Fbodies maybe at highest theft rate in the south...Do you really think people stealing fbodies are going all Inspector gadget?

My friend has a cell jammer for his optical shop......he hates when rich ******* women come into his shop and ask for help then start talking on their cell phones while he stands there with his thumb up his ***. So he has a little remote control key chain thing, he pushes a button and bam...no cell phones in his shop.

BUT....its good for 10 meters and must be plugged into the wall....the station that sends out the blocker signal is about the size of a shoebox, maybe a little smaller with two 6 inch antennas.

It works like a charm every time.

The ones that use battery packs that a thief would have to use suck and are only good for 1 meter. And whatever the rated distance is...you have to cut that in half, they DO NOT work as advertised. Plus the battery packs need to be 12 volt or some crap. So it might not even block a GPS receiver thats in the trunk or under the hood or stuck to the back glass.

Then they'll need to bring a cell phone tower signal blocker also.......ain't gonna happen.
