On the plus side it makes a great conversation starter as a keychain oriement.
What makes you think a theif needs to start the car to steal it
I'm sure you can rent a trailer for 50.00 with a wench
I know what your saying you can block it in by parking cars around it right? Remember the bad @ss Supra that was stolen while the guy was visiting is folks and the theives moved a civic to get it lol Thats kinda funny in a way...I mean they broke into a Civic just to move it out of the way
Also don't forget those cool roller deals the repomen use to do the same them even if the car is bumper to bumper gaurded. Anyways, we know if someone wants the car bad enough they will get it, the thing is for us not to make it easy.
Car Alarms works pretty good but there is a few things to keep in mind:
. Don't have the thing to sencetive. The best way to explain why is the girl who called wolf to many times. I mean your neighbors will start to blow it off after the alley cats set it off a few hundred times. I always had my car set up where you could beat the hell out of the dang thing and it not go off. But the alarm was wired to the interrior lights. So if you opened a Door, Hood, or truck everyone knew about it. I was also lazy and had an alarm that set it self all the time
. Also make sure to try and hide the alarm control box and the speakers. If you want my best advice, use two speakers (one at each end of the car). The reason being is that almost all alarm speakers are mounted the same place. If a theif cuts the wire than he's almost home free. I would mount the second speaker back around the trunk of the car.
Now I'm not one for using one means of anti thef devices ( when I care if my car is stolen or not). I also use(d) an ingnition switch along with an alarm, just incase the theif defeats one of them. Also don't get cought up in those crapy steering wheel lock devices. It takes me half a second to pick the lock alone and most theives the same time to saw through the wheel. Then you have the brake locking devices. Keep in mind you can defeat that..."must have the brake pedal pressed to shift gears" (autos) device with a screw driver to the colum. After that you can use that anit thef device to press the brake going down the road
Ok it's late and I'm just babling
