[QUOTE="aimology, post: 7647145, member: 639546"] [B][I]Not that I am happy about what I did[/I][/B], but at one point in my life I ran a chop shop and use to "jack" cars on a regular basis. So, coming from someone extremely experience in this matter. A lot of this depends on where you live. This is a HUGE difference. This will separate the "boys" and the "men" of the car thieving realm. I.E, we use to use tow trucks for vehicles we REALLY wanted, over in Turkey where my Aunt lives, they use Side "lifts" to pull them out of "tight" parking spots. I will tell you this Car alarm works with the following, really well. The time the thief is "delayed" from accessing the wires / horn etc etc is very very important. Note:: 1 important thing not mentioned is if someone is able to slide under your car to the cut wires. This is done quite often also, however on my current vehicles this cant be done. They are to low to the ground and would need jacked up, however I have a proximity alarm that chirps when standing next to my car along with shock sensors ( rims ). 1) shaving your door locks makes them HAVE to go through a window ( great idea ) 2) shaving you truck lock makes them use a crow bar or try to yank through the back seat ( great idea ) 3) disable or hide hood latch inside ( VERY important ) cutting the battery / removing the horn was done by us regularly. ( must be done ) 4) razor blades on the side of your HU and under your hood ( optional but I love it ) do those 3 ( maybe 4 ) and I guarantee you will stop 99.9% of a car thief unless the guy seriously wants it THAT bad.
