Default Didn't think it would happen to me.

Well early this morning at approximately 3:15 someone tried breaking into my car. My dog was sleeping in my room and heard some noise so he jumped on top of me and and started barking then all of a sudden I hear my alarm go off, then I took off for my front door and the ******* thieves got away. I let my dog (A Pitbull I might add) loose to see if he could find someone but they just had too much time since the alarm went off. I am very fortunate to have nothing stolen from my car. I just thought I was safe living in the suburbs of South Jersey. I guess it is time to start coming up with a new wave of protection of my car.

a steering wheel lock is probably a good idea and also take out your head unit at nigt. It might be a hassle but at least it wont get stolen. And i dunno what you could do about speakers and stuff like that sept make sure theyre properly fixed to your car and hope that you will be alerted before they have time to unscrew stuff :D

Theives suck!!!!! I wish your pitbull would have gotten ahold of one. A removable steering wheel would help and a hood latch relocation would also be a plus. Good thing for mans best friend.

I bought my dog with the sole reason of if I decide to go somewhere especially in the city, someone would have some ***** if they wanted to break into my car with him locked inside of it. I am really glad my dog came through, I might even get another Pitbull and am looking into the best security system I can have in my car, does anyone have any suggestions.

go out and buy one of them gay Club deals, that might work...

also get a second battery and put it in yer trunk just so that your alarm cant be fucked over by some junkie ******* thieves that pull the terminals off the battery under your hood.

also the power locks should be disabled on DC tegs, all yopu need to do is pull the window back and hit the power locks up

just a thought...

thieves suck

well now that someone has their eye on your car, time to really look out for your car, garage it, or even let your dog sleep near it or something.

The clubs are useless and so are those damn autolocks. Its better to get a detachable wheel, even though theres still ways to get around that but itll be more of a deterrant.

Instead of having a whole 2nd battry just for the alarm, I believe Code-Alarm sells alarm sirens with a backup battery system built in. So even if they find the siren and cut all the wires off, itll still alert for a long time. The backup battery in the siren needs a key to be turned off, so its not like theres only a AA battery in it or something for the theif to take out and kill the siren.

Last thing, MULTIPLE KILL SWITCHES! Fuel cut, clutch switch cut, ignition cut, even injector cut switch, anything. Multiple switches will make it very difficult for the thief to steal it if he doesnt have a tow truck, by then your dog will have enough time to bite the crap outta him

Haha, i'd be hesitant to leave my dog inside my car... I dont think i'd wanna come out in the morning n find a huge steamy pile of Diarrhea in my seat

The cheapest option of all those and probably the most effective is of course the kill switches, unless you have someone that knows you have those switches and where they are located, itll take a long time for the thieves to find them all unless theyre in plain sight. Having all 3 of those security features makes it VERY hard for someone to steal your car unless they have a tow truck.

*Waits for the next million people to come in and say the Cliched "If they want it bad enough theyll get it" *rolls eyes**

This would be a perfect time to set up a sting operation. Catch those bastards in the act!

All you need is your pit bull and a bb gun with sharp pellets

ive got the club & autolock....i know it wont help if they have a flatbed with them, but at least if they dont...it'll take them longer to take my car. more layers of security the better.
