...I thought this might be of some interest.

I recently blew a fuse that controls my interior lights and tail lights. At night I kept on getting pulled over because my tail lights were out but I got off after explaining I blew a fuse and have yet to replace it (so I'm lazy). Then I think to myself...99.8% of car thefts occur at night. So if you take this little fuse out at night when you come home, and your car happens to be the unlucky one that night and gets ganked, the chances of the thiefs getting pulled over in your car by the police are greatly increased. Ofcourse unless they tow it.

Oh yeah, don't take the topic title so serious, I just wanted to get your attention

 

you have my attention

but here is a problem
what if you live in an area where there is little law enforcement?

Then what are the odds that when your car gets stollen at 2 am that the perpetrator crosses a police officer? i.e. my hood

Good idea though. I say quit being cheap and get a good valve cut off, w/ decent alarm.
keep a glock 40
and get some sleep

they won't get far.

 

yeah well works for some

i have an alarm as well but every little bit counts

 

One2Hit: That's all he's saying. He isnt saying this is going to stop a theif, but it may thwart their efforts when driving, as they'll be clueless as to the lights not being on.

 

that would work in my area. I've seen car thiefs here get pulled over for no front plate. Ask Jackson, that's how his car spotted by police a block away after it was stolen. The guy didn't stand a chance.

 

Tail lights are on the same fuse as interior lights, so they will know. Instead, you could make a cutoff switch for them (& brake lamps while you're at it, a DPST switch). That way the thieving mutherkumquats won't have the slightest idea. Plus, it would be easier then pulling and reinserting a fuse.

 

yeah that's true: every little bit helps.
But unfortunatly It just wouldn't work where I live...
at 2 or 3 in the morning no one is on the road, and to be honest the police around here just don't give a ****. I have had buddies that have been pulled over w/possesion of marajuana and the police just conpensated it and drove away (drugs are bad btw!)

Like I said.. It is a good idea if you think that law enforcement is strong enough in your area.

I would be happy as **** if my car was stollen and I found out that they were pulled over because I pulled the fuse to the taillights

didn't mean to stomp your idea y0!!!

 

I see at least 20 cops within a 4 mile radius of my house, out on patrol... its cool, but sux

 

 

is there a fuse i can pull that wont let the car start

 

A lot of cops around here, how about disabling the head lights too? Hehe... thieves can't drive away in the dark!

 

i think you'd have to take out two fuses for that

 

I'd make a switch, that's a damn good idea.

How suspicious would it look havin a couple of punk AZN kids in a Type R with no headlights or taillights on?

Come on cops, let's use our senses...

 

isnt that comment a little racist ....

 

oh man your asking for it huh?

 

 

CuZ it'z Da AzN bettah RecOgNize BiZnITCHz, I roLL HaRd In A TyPe R, FlaSh deM bAngZ, PeEleeN OuT, YeAh iM HaRd

 

I just keep a lift at the house and pull out my motor every night and store it in the basement behind dead bolt doors

 

After that one, I will never put my front plates back on.

 

Not a bad idea, but these idiots who steal cars probably wouldnt pull over if the cops tried. They'd run and end up on Fox Greatest Police Chases or something.

 

Why don't you all just pull out the fuel pump fuse, or the ECU fuse? Another thing you can do is install a relay (that is activated with a switch) inline with the ignition wire underneath the hood by the driverside shock tower. I have installed this for maybe people and if you need help doing it then just email me.

 

Fuel cut off switch and a garage is the best deterrant.

 

solution for car not getting stolen is as follows. one alarm, plus one garage, plus one mean *** guard dog. heheh

 

Thats actually a pretty good idea.
Thanks

 

yes , there's at least 2 .but im sure that some people know this , i just wont like to comment it on the net cause then it lets every one know
