Theft prevention tip

[tramp_drift240]

this thread fails.

everyone starts off by saying what they would do to prevent theives, and then everyones productive conversation gets ruined by those saying:

"doesnt matter what you do, if they want it bad enough, theyll take it."

"if theyve got a roll back, doesnt matter if it even has wheels, theyll crank it up and away they go"

theres no point. we're all destined to have our cars stolen by professional car theives.

DAMN YOU NICHOLAS CAGE.

some of the stuff mentioned would stop NORMAL car theives, so this thread may have helped someone out with an idea of how to lessen the chances of their car getting stolen.

the only reason why i brought up the tow truck is because there have been alot of junkyards getting busted for buying stolen cars and tow truck drivers were the ones bringing them in because they know they could get big money for certain cars, like honda civics, and alot of different GM products, and these guys werent "profesional car theives" they were just normal tow truck drivers that needed some extra cash

[tramp_drift240]

still pretty wack though.

luckily, i always tend to park my car where i can see it through store/restaurant windows. that should lessen my chances of gettin' it theived.

LMAO@ "park in a mine field"

I had my 240 parked in a parking lot for around a 2yr's and when i came to move it, someone wrote there number saying they wanted to buy it, so i moved it to my aunts house it spent another 5 months there and supposable someone broke in but couldn't take it. The tires were flat and the battery was dead

[BMAR240SX]

Lo Jack

[fourLUG_hero]

Your kidding right?

Dead serious. You're from the region, you should have heard about it.

[formulaSX_kris]

hahahha i dont think that's really gona do anything...you should try something new, perhaps a quick release engine i suppose ?

HAHAHAHAHAHAH

[tramp_drift240]

^ that would just lift up your front end so a tow truck could come jack your chassis when youre not looking.

WATCH OUT

I'm glad some people think like that. The easier their car is to steal, the less likely mine is to get stolen. You can always do a basic alarm and a GPS tracker. GPS tracker>tow truck.

[tramp_drift240]

see?

just make your car look undesirable if youre in an area where theres risk of your car getting stolen.

if it doesnt look good enough to steal, chances are it wont get stolen.

ym car is a massive investment i best believe imma jave a lojack

[andromeda]

when i bought my old tegra the guy had it wired so you had to have the seat belt buckled or it would just crank and never start. doubt any thief is gonna be too worried about buckling up haha

Nice idea, but in a 240 I'd wire that up to the rear seat belts. No way in hell is someone going to figure that out.

ya that is pretty smart. that would be sweet

[Yaezu]

Dude! If they want it, they WILL take it.Good luck...

[tramp_drift240]

^ well that seems like a post for someone trying to get into the classifieds.

and thats not completely true, ive had multiple people say that they want my car, but it has yet to be stolen.

[Armstec_S13]

i have to go online, but i've read somewhere, someone had done that with the cigarette lighter had to be pushed in to start the car, imma look for it i might just do that

[98koukile]

I live in the boondocks but the nearest city is a bunch of civic ricers. All I need is a custom gun rack... an empty one. That way they know the gun is somewhere close, and I have it. I was leaving the mall once and heard my alarm chirp and there was a kid looking at my car, he scurried as soon as he saw me and I know why... everyone around here knows the only reason a smith and wesson sticker would be on a car

[nickshades]

ignition cut off, fuel cut off, lojack and if that doesn't seem like enough....install a system that gives the person a shock when they try to break in. :-)

[primer240sx]

i take my ignitor chip out and unplug my battery eveynight. and for some reason i will always have to tap on the 3 fuses in the fuse box next to the coolant resovior before i can start up my car. i think however tries to steal my car would have some trouble. not to mention my 30-06 sniper deer rifle bullets through their head from my window. =DDD

[idahotuner]

^ in texas you can get away with it. without having it posted.

[primer240sx]

^ LOL...yeah, but im sure people wouldnt want to die in 240sx not driving or drifting in it. in texas, you also have the right to shoot someone who enters into your property with intent of burglary too. =DD

best one yet to mention.....

My theft deturent is that you CANNOT START MY CAR!!

Lol. Go Ahead, try hot wiring it, or infact, find the hide a key, it still won't start. It won't even turn over unless you figure out how to touch the hot wire and ground wire on the starter together with the key on.... LMAO.

My theft deturent is that you CANNOT START MY CAR!!

kinda like how my friends s13 was, except you could start it but the transmission was so messed up it was very hard to drive. the car was stolen in a parking lot but the thief couldnt get out of 1st so it stalled and he bailed

[idahotuner]

you could have a loctronic key installed like i did in my integra. one day i bumpped it and then i coudldnt get my car started and i messed around wit his for liek an hour and half before i figured it out lol.
