Yea, figured that much.. but i was wondering if there was anything to prevent it away from home, I dont have a garage but I do block it most of the time.

I wanted to get like a boot or something but the ones I found can be cut off it looks like. Just wondering if there are some other ways.

Cutting one of those boots off would be hella tough. IMO a boot is overkill unless you have it parked for a while.

here is the one that I was talking about...


It looks like it can be cut without too much effort or by use of a specific tool that some of you know aobout.

Even the boot that the government uses can't stop them from flatbedding. They'll just drag your car onto the truck and it's still going to be gone. It will make more noise however if you are in proximity to hear it.

Towing would be difficult, but not impossible.

LOL... outside my house I found a couple 2 thieves scoping out my ride last night for a 1/2 hour around 3am. I have installed a security camera outside my house with it recording everynight. And I saw finger prints in areas that would not be from me then I watech the tape.

Saw the ****** looking in to see what kind of antithefts and I think they were writing **** down. Im in like super paranoid mode now. Trying to do everything possible. I have autolock/club/alarm and installing a kill switch this weekend.

i'd be paranoid as hell too, did you actually see these people scoping out your car, or did you see it on the tape. also get a gun if you think you're ready for one responsibaly.
when you're done driving for the night, put a note on the car somewhere that says something to the effect of "smile you're on camera" or some ****

Well first off responsible as in how with a gun I can have access to get one within a few days. My G/F's dad owns a gun range/pawn shop. And if I saw the ******* in my car I would blast em... is that not responsible. Well, im sure they would have a knife/crow bar or something

I will kill a thief.

Wait till you see the pics im going to be posting in a minute.

*annoyed*

Heres what I see as a issue with the 2 last posts I've seen you participate in.

According to you:

1) theft is *awesome*
2) fraud is *awesome*
3) buy a gun to kill someone for stealing a car. though may be immoral to steal, you're being retarded.
4) responsibaly .... self explanatory.

There was a reason your account was banned. You come back and still do not realize why you were "Regulated"?

Fugg a damn handgun. I got long range rifles for anyone that wants my car. Gonna send some shots through the *******, then get my 22 bird rifle and shoot off their fingers.

Killing them would be no fun, you have to leave them in pain so they can regret it.

i drive a tow truck and honestly short of sleeping in you car, there isnt really any way in removing the threat of being towed/impounded/stolen. A few recomendations, remove your front tow hooks located just behind your front bumper held on by three bolts, park in backwards, always crank on that ebrake. the ebrake doesnt help that much cause we just put wd40 on the ground and your tires slide like on ice, but if the guy dosent have wd 40 or liquid soap then it will at least make noise and slow down a wheel lift type truck. good luck and sleep tight

All it takes to scare them away for good is to step outside and **** the gun in their presence, they won't be back, at least not for a while.

wow you're stupider then you really sound, that name got deleted because i am not allowed to make a duplicate name and DID NOT know that i could change my current name. so why don't you go "realize" you don't know wtf you are talking about before you get "regulated"

i think theft is awsome, and fraud is awsome? you're a ******* idiot and partially read posts. i HATE both. *awsome* was referring to the car coming back to life and almost running 11s it's first time out. EVEN IN THE ******* POST i refered to not aggreeing or condoling wtf happened before the car came back out you jack ***. stfu and **** off, come back when you know wtf you're talking about, thanks
