Has anybody done or know of a way to reenforce or fabricate a way to lock down the tab on the windows so people can't reach their arms through by bending the window. I just had that happen to my car and not only did they steal my stereo. They didn't know a thing about what they were doing and jacked up my ignition by trying to shove a screwdriver in there, they ripped off the steering column plastic and all of the metal around the ignition lock. I know this hasn't just happend to me and know how it feels. It bites......I'm investing in a nice alarm to deter those kids who just want to break into **** and go for a joy ride. Please let me know what you know....or what not.. thanks all!!!

 

Really....anyone??

 

You know, you could be a little bit more grateful... at leas they didn't take your car. I am sure replacing a stereo and some small stuff is a little cheaper than replacing the whole car. The only think I could think of is to put a plastic guard or something over where they would usually hook the lock.

 

keep your windows rolled up.

Sorry to hear you got your stuff stolen. That sucks! Without fully disconecting the thing there is no way that I can think of. Unless you had a custom one made.

 

get the sensor detection alarm with the visible screen display. It helps to know if some idiot cant help themself to try and steal.

 

you could always sharpen the top of your window to a razor-point, but then you'd have to clean blood off your car

 

Does it look like this???
So where does the key go??

OH ok it must go here



Yes that's my car, Yes it was stolen. Yes it was turbo. The bad part about it is i was just about to get it tuned and ready for the track on august 9,10th. Now the insurance company is gonna have it untill the 5th when the decide if they want to salvage it or not.

I know what you are saying...it could have been worse. But it sounds like you are trying to insult him. Getting your car messed w/is nothing to be grateful for, no matter the degree.

Now, did they get into your car w/the window all the way up?

 

man... i'm thinking about making all the wires up to my key cylinder the same color, or some other color than factory. They are just too easy to memorize on a honda. Of course on mine having the immobilizer will help i guess

 

I don't know if it's theft proof or not, but I use that clutch lock that according to the vendor makes it impossible to steal. My car has a salvage title due to theft recovery. The thieves stole the drive train in 1996. My son's GSR was stolen a few months ago, where they took the engine and tranny. The thieves used a tow truck for the theft. Not much you can do to avoid that. You have to have a good alarm that is not easily by-passed.

 

To be honest I was a little insulted with the whole be grateful, but I do understand what you mean. Just a little bit of wrong wording. Yes, the window was rolled all the way up, it is the little tab near the front of the car about a foot up from the side mirror. bend the tab up pull out the window and you can reach your hand in. I didn't think it was that easy untill it actually happend. It really bites. And man.. your car was quite a bit worse off than mine. I can still start my car, and none of the wires are ripped out, just the ignition was fed up.

 

hey if u guys do not want ur lude stolen, then hide a switch in your glove box or another hidden location, and make it for your fuel pump, so if thives successfully hot wire your ride, they cant do **** hahaha poor bastards

 

Or if u got the time you can take your spark plugs out every nite when you park your car. or take the ecu out

 

I don't have time and I'm too lazy for that....i'm just gonna get an alarm with a fuel cut off swith......and maybe put in an ignition switch under the dash that I just have to turn on and off for the ignition electricals.....something of the sort. what do you all think of the python 660xp that's the alarm i'm pretty sure I'm gonna get....those of you who know please give me your opinion

 

Ok, didn't mean to come off as an *** with the whole grateful thing... on a local import board, 6 people have had their Honda's/Acura stolen within the last 3 months, stripped to the **** (no suspension, no brakes, no engine, no interior, no nothing)... and I am almost positive they would rather have their ignition f-ed up, or a few hundred dollar stereo stolen, than the whole damn thing gone and ripped to pieces.

The good thing is they shorted the ignition fuse by grounding one of those wires and couldnt start the car!

 

Take the power lock switch out.

That wouldnt have helped me. They just busted my window while at the same time ruining my door locks by shoving a screwdriver in em and banging it with a hammer.
