Silvia has been broken into 2x at my new place...

just get a stupidly sensitive alarm. being awoken a couple times in the middle of the night for wind touching your car might suck but at least it'll give you peace of mind.

WRONG!

My car came with the most sensitive alarm system on the planet. Drop of rain hit your car? Alarm goes off. Leaf gets blown onto the car? Alarm goes off. Prius drives by? Alarm goes off.

It got to the point that every time the alarm went off, I'd just disengage it and go back to sleep. Then the one night when my car is ACTUALLY being broken into, I did the same thing I always did. Grab the keys, hit the "STFU" button, and went back to sleep, while the ***hole teenager made off with my Clarion system.

Glad he didn't take anything valuable.

Jerk off into a cup and have the contents launched onto the thief. Rig a note that pops down after saying "I came" or something like that.

Go to a local 'Farm and Ranch store' - buy an electric fence controller - install electric fence controller under fender (they are a small box) - connect one side of 'fence out' to the frame of your car - connect the other 'fence out' to the body of the car - as far from the first connection as possible - set unit to ON - run extension cord under grass to were car is parked - plug in when you not near car = ie thief can't steal from what they cannot hang on to.... it's non-lethal voltage - but it's got a heck of kick to it.

paint ball gun with marbles in it.

Frozen jellybeans and a wrist rocket are far more effective (and cheaper), takes more skill though.

And for you treehuggers out there, it's Earth friendly too.

so's a Louisville slugger.

castle doctrine ftw.

I wish TN would get on board with that...
