Default My old anti-theft trick.... easy and free

I figured id post this to help couple of you guys out... Now that i sold my car

I kno you can take out fuel pump relay's... pop out your ecu ect, but heres what i did.

IF you broke as Hell (Like i was) with no alarm ..... here's what i did to make sure no one drove off with my car in the middle of the night..

The Main wiring harness, by the clutch reservior.... I unplugged the Middle (i think) Main harness plug...
I could do this in an easy 5 seconds with one hand
You can put the key in, turn it over and nothing will happen. (Could break the ignition and nothing would still happen)

Everytime i went into school, grocery store, mall, movies ect... and my car was Never jacked!

Here's what im talking about... LOWER Right hand side of the picture..

and i miss my baby



Also those nights when your hella faded and u wanna drive.... you wont remember why your car won't start and maybe pass out in it till the morning.
I've done it a few times lol

you could do that, but it seems like a hassle. you could do this as a layer of protection but pulling the fuse does the same thing if you didnt know.

unfortunatly i sold it, so i have no more secretes.

Yes i know its the same as pulling out a fuse... But you've never heard of theifs running around with extra ecus, fuses, and steering wheels..... Yes you have because those are all known easy anti theft tricks..

Like i said its just something else that people wont be able to figure out.

and ya she was clean...

Month 1-3

Month 3-6

Month 6-10

Boot it, but they'll probably still try to drag it.

Chain the bitch down to the ground if you want to slow down the towing thieves.
Park the ****** in your living room.

Still towable, they can drag that junk onto a flatbed. Cars that are totaled and wheels are all fawked up still make it on flatbeds.

it's a bitch to pop your hood all the time whenever you park and disconnect it, then when get back in, pop your hood again and connect it.
