if u watch closely, the shotgun blasts just braze the side of it, im sure they purposely have those 'snipers' shoot 'a lil to the left' (or right as the case may be) but just the same, i think i may use one on my car.

As for the eletric shock thing, i had a coil wired to the ing. switch. If the switch cutting power to the coil it would shock the hell out of you. I had this on my old Sentra. It was funny to get friends to start the car without killing that coil. It was only a coil from a go-cart motor but it would still shock the hell out of you. I wanted to do this to the body so that if a switch wasnt fliped it would shock you if you touched the body. But too many dumb *** kids at the High School would ahve shockedthem selves after school.

they called it a 'snap-off system'. its like a hub that you put your sterring wheel on and say when u park your car. you can just 'snap' off the steering wheel and hide it somewhere.

heres a link to it http://www.tekniqauto.com

Sparco and Momo make wheels that "snap off" also. They are probably a bit more expensive though.

Yea, you can't hurt them dumb thieves or they will turn around and sue your ars. I've heard this storry a couple of times already. Anyways, the reason i had the toothbrushes and our clothing because we stayed overnight at my friend's house so we don't have to drive back to where we live, which is 40 mins away, and sleep for 5 -6 hours, wake up for church, which was only 5 mins away from my friend's place. I play the violin with my brother and sister in the choir so I can't miss church, another way to make my parents proud and happy anyways.

I just saw the car for the first time today after it was recovered...OMFG, they PRIED the trunk open like you couldn't believe...on donuts, took EVERYTHING inside the car except for the cluster, air vents. Motor is gone...lucky he didn't have the coilovers on yet, or else, that would be gone too. Anyways, that's my story. We're trying to figure out where exactly they dropped off the car, and i'm going back there to find them ****ers. Stupid thing was that they had a WATCHER with them. When I ran out of the shop on foot, i saw 2 black peeps in a rust out red grand am. They parked 1 car behind my brother's car, infront of an ally...nice place to park huh???? They pulled away as my friends pulled all the cars out to chase after the *****ers in the delsol...so when I get back in that neighborhood where they dropped off the car, and I see that grand am with black peeps, and has asian friends...OMG, they are going down. I figured that the car can't be pull away since it has no engine, and impossible to go far...I'm gonna nail those *****ers man, have faith in me. I'm sick of this ****

snap off? I want airbags though, that's why i don't wanna get those aftermarket steerings. Thanks for good tips though guys. Anyways, 89, why are you still trying to talk to me? You have not show anything that is helpful to this thread, rather being a postwhore. Why are you even use words that you can't spell correctly and trying to make yourself look sophisticated?

I am working on a little theft system of my own. I am splicing into the power supply that goes from my starter to my battery. Then you run a line with a switch to a secret place on your car. Then you have to switch it on before the car will start. I may not have gotten the instructions all correct because it was my Dads idea. But anyway thats what were are going to do.;)

My buddy and I rigged a switch like this on his Integra years back. stuck the switch in the slot for the tilt steering handle. If you didn't press down the button, the car would not start. There are never any guarantees though. They can always flat-bed it.
