Re: What is the best THeft Deturent?
Having a manual transmission seems to work around here. I've seen people from my friends' balcony downtown walking up and down the street looking for cars to break in. They pause and when they don't see a selector indicator at the top column and walk off.

Re: What is the best THeft Deturent?
I have a battery cut-off switch installed on mine. Also it's parked first in line outside the garage, then a Suburban behind it, and then a Chevy van behind that. The driveway is only wide enough for one car, so they're gonna have to work to get my truck out.
Also when the battery is actually in the truck, 75% of the time it's discharged.

Re: What is the best THeft Deturent?
i think fuel cut off would be the best Because anyone can run a wire from the pos side of battery to the hot side of coil (to keep it running) and start the older chevy by pass the starter.

Re: What is the best THeft Deturent?
I keep it in the garage, then park the gutted BBC S10 project infront of that, then infront of the S-10 is the gas mileage getting Beretta. And I leave the keys in that thing...no one wants it.
And if that dont work, check the avatar.

Re: What is the best THeft Deturent?
Although tales about men suffering severe burns to their genitalia on electric fences are common in urban legend, this such occurrence was the result of an attempted car theft. Accordingly, the story accompanying the photograph attached is about a "Texas redneck" who met with this unfortunate injury after drinking too much Lone Star beer and attempted to steal a classic GMC pick-up. The owner of the truck installed a 3-phase, 480 volt electric fence anti-theft device.......... Needless to say the new security system (available at Wal-Mart in June) is a complete success.

Re: What is the best THeft Deturent?
I gave up trying years ago.
I used o work in the car audio industry and I have seen everything get bypassed one way or another. After a summer as a tow driver, I learned way more than I should have. I lock my truck, keep it in plain sight, but I hide anything of value and have it insured to the hilt. The bottom line is: If someone wants it bad enough, they will bring a flatbed.

OH NO! I'll not be taking any kind of credit for that. My fence controller, which is NOT connected to my truck, plugs in your standard 110 V. receptacle.
