F-Bodies & Vettes Are Getting Stolen Left & Right...
Especially here in the Bay Area.. Don't know about So Cal but to many of my friends cars are getting stolen... Anyone use kill switch? I heard adding another car alarm horn is another way to help..

Yea we think some of them are using our local site Norcal-Lsx & searching around. But the big guy pretty hard to miss now that we know what he looks like. I say someone needs to set up a really nice Camaro bait car in Oakland. Guarantee you will be arresting people left & right. I know they had that one Bait Car show on TV in LA lol always enjoyed watching that because they all had the same excuse "Oh I was just moving it for the driver"

Damn... that chaps my *** seeing that! I shiver at the thought of someone stealing my ws6.... Would be devastated!
What was done under the pass side dash to kill the alarm? Something with the bcm? Anyone know of what could be done there?

They go through the passenger side fender to disconnect the stock horn so the horn doesn't go off when the alarm goes off. So either adding another horn somewhere hidden or moving your stock one will stop that & give them a surprise

wonder how they are bypassing the vats system?? unless they are doing the resistor bypass, but then they would need 15 of them to see which fits...
hmm interesting, I have a kill switch on mine... and I unscrew the lever to the switch when I park it in the garage.... And I have 2 big dogs in the garage that sleep a few feet away..
these thieves might get smart and start carrying fuses with them...
might have to add an arming switch to the kill switch somewhere, then add an arming switch coming off the fuse block to power the pcm/bcm..
that should stop those ******* thieves

I saw some show on the Netflix underground something, whatever it doesn't matter. They show how this car theif steals cars by stealing the hosts truck. He carries a pcm with vats delete and I'm assuming a safe tune for pretty much whatever. He steals it in less than a minute by switching the pcm and breaking the column

I believe its the vehicle anti theft system, they unplug it and plug one of their own boxes up to it so it tells the computer everything is fine and at that point they can just crank it up and drive off.
