It sounds rash to sell but if you think about it, right now i assume it's clean title, so it's worth good money. But if it gets stolen and recovered it will become Salvage title and value will drop DRAMATICALLY! So just depends on what he wants to do. Hope things go good for you.

Just make sure you have full coverage on your insurance, lower your deductible to 100 and leave the doors unlocked.

I suggest a good alarm, with pager. a motion sensor activated floodlight, and a remote camera. If someone wants your car bad enough and they're good at stealing them they'll probably get it, but if you make the risk high enough they're likely to move on to easier prey. Block it in at night so it can't be easily towed if possible.

Honestly, thats pretty pathetic if your just going to sit there and wait for them to steal your car. Its more pathetic if your going to sell your car because just b/c you think someone is going to steal it. If someone really wanted your car, they would of took it by now. Instead of just sitting around waiting for something to happen, go install a camera or something. Not to flame or anything, but just gets me irrated how people steal cars these days. If i was you, id try to look for this guy and beat the living #%$^ out of him.

...then he'll be in prison and the guy will surely steal his car.

Thieves do suck.

Just do some goofy stuff for awhile. Park it in a well lit area and I don't know, put a hidden switch to open the circuit at the ECU circuit or fuel pump fuse. Stuff like that would be hard to find quickly in the relative darkness we're talking about.

just take the ECU out at nite. Or you can go down to your local garbage company and talk to the guy with the nice suit. 500 bucks will get anything "disposed" of. Do not sell your car.

I caught a stupid drunk bustin out my windshield one nite and scared him so bad he **** his pants. I pulled a gun on him and my buddy tied him up with duct tape. then we put him in the trunk and drove out in the middle of the desert and made him dig a hole. when we said the hole was deep enough and to get on his knees the focker crapped his pants! We left him on the side of the road and told him to hitchhike home. It cost me 300 to get the windshield fixed but I consider it money well spent. I'll bet he never messes with anyones car again.

Yes it's hard to stop the thieving weasels if they have a tow truck. Your best chance here is a locked garage, verhicles or other large objects obstructing, and or an alarm with good microwave/motion, and shock sensors. It's too bad people can't just get a job and get their own stuff, instead of making a job out of stealing other's stuff.
