What I am talking about is the kind of pickups on the back of some kinds of wreckers and tow-trucks. It's like a big T but with parts that come from the side of the T that wrap around the wheels, up and they are out of there. I had my old beater towed once, the tow truck driver didn't even get out of the truck. He drove up, backed up, and just was up and ready to go, took about 10 seconds, faster than the hood latch. I followed him in my grandmother's Volvo 240, could hardly keep up with the F-350 Powerstroke in the tow truck.

Lets not forget to mention verts either. My first 5.0 was a vert and I had it for sale in front of my house and woke up one morning and someone had cut the entire rear glass convertible panel out and stole all of my stereo components. The F*&#er's even took the 5.0 badges off. As for anyone popping your hood and stealing somethin I doubt that would ever happen. Its not like you can get a set of headers off in 3 minutes without cutting up ur hands and making alot of noise. Same goes for an intake or something like that.
Thats not a bad idea.How about the wire that goes from the coil to the cap though, it would be a little easier to take off.xplo89gt said:How about just popping the distributer cap and taking the rotor. Fits right in your pocket.

Back to the topic, 5.0 Mustang did a write up on the block plate for the latch @ 1 year ago. I'll see if i can find the company's name in a back issue for you.Lynx331 said:A buddy of mine told me to watch something. He crawled under my car, about 12 seconds later.... pop... My hood popped. Needless to say it definatly scared the crap outta me. I never realized how easily anyone can get at our engines. All you have to do is get ur hand up there and his this little tab and your in. Making all of our hard earned performance parts open game for basically anyone. I was wondering if anyone knew some way i could lock my hood? I thought of hood pins with locks on them, but then i would have to drill my hood... not something i really wanna do. Anyone have any other methods of locking their hood shut? ANyone ever hear of this before?

throw this brother an AMEN, yea gun control being able to hit your target.90mustangGT said:Yeah, no matter what you can do, someone can always tow it away. Tow truck's equipped correctly can pick up your car and be off with it in a few seconds. They can do it right in public and although people might notice, they'll figure it was probally a repo man or something and walk on.
My car sits in the garage, but my truck is still vernerable, and they can still get to the car although they would have to get the truck out of the way first. Hopefully they would steal the truck because it is fully insured and not personalized. If they came into the garage, that's home invasion. I've got a view of the whole driveway and about 100 feet after that, and I have an semi-auto rifle with a few 30 and 40 round clips full of balistic tip bullets, and I was in the USMC, now that a thief can't bypass.Instead of me trying to find peices of my car, we'll be looking for peices of thug.

When you park, turn the wheels to the lock. They simply CANNOT up and take off without trying to tow a car hanging halfway into the next lane and that would attract a whole ton of suspicion and get them pulled over. They can get your back wheels but not your fronts. They cant tow it cause the nose would swing out and the back wheels are locked from being in gear/park with the brake up. Then they would have to smash the windows, break the lock and straighten the wheel but now they're no longer taking it in 10 seconds and silently.
