Default How much security is enough for you?!?

I use club locks, clutch locks, and I'm about to relocate the hood cable, and also put several fuel pump & starter kill switches. I want to see how much security do you think is enough. I know someone is going to say this, "If a thief really wants your car then he'll get to it no matter what."

Unless you watch it 24/7 its not safe. I found that the more paranoid you are of your car the more that its a victim

id laugh if you put 23 kill switches on your car and then walked outside 5 min later and it was gone. only if there was a way to keep them damn tow truck away.

i also leave my doors unlocked most of the time, and the damn thieves still break my windows.

QR and QR lock isn't bad either. They can't drive anywhere without a steering wheel... The only option they'll have is a tow truck, which not EVERYONE has access to

Ah yes....what wonders the garage helps when you are at work away from the home!

You come out from a long days sleep/work. And realize after alot of coffee and sobering up through-out the day, there is a giant ******* sign that simply states "NO PARKING ANY TIME vehicle will be towed at driver's expense" and reach in your pocket for your un-charged cell phone and then hear a distinct sound of your car's exhaust note and tires squealing around the corner... WTF!?!?

You then desperately run frantic to the street only to see the culprate tossing the garage door opener out the window as he takes the bend and dips out of sight.

Thought the tow truck got her eh!?

I say just get a loud *** bullhorn alarm, enhanced regular horn honk, starter kill, and gps tracking device....ok and a camera too so you have good evidence for insurance company I'll take that in lump sum please.

But I love my damn car...hope to God it never happens to me man!

edit: I just realized...shouldn't this be in GDD?

Lose the club and get a detachable wheel.

as a matter of fact, i talked to a fellow H-tech member who said he had two autolocks on his car. One on the clutch and the other on the gas. But my guess was that whoever stole it must have been eyeing his car for awhile.
