mate of mine came up with a great idea, hook up a solenoid that goes off when the alarm goes off and have it set to set off a tear gas canister in the cabin on a 30 sec delay, id like to see the theives drive then, and the bonus is if you do it with a two way alarm you can walk back to your car to watch them rolling around on the floor in mass pain, btw anyone know where i can get tear gas canisters Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I was down at my Big W the other day and found the perfect thing. You know how on TV if people park somewhere they're not supposed to the parking officer puts a wheel clamp on one of the weels. Big W sells them for about $50 So if you go for a wheelclamp, club lock and immobiliser with an alarm I think your car would be pretty safe. Then they'd just smash all the windows in anger and frustration. But your car will still be there.

Something like a cafe or somethings good! I worry about some tard scratching my cal more than stealing it! Noobs touching ur cal is always bad also ;/ nothing like spending 5 hrs cleaning and various waxes to see a hand print! Maybie someone could wire up some kinda cattle grade electric fence unit that electrolizes the whole car and is isolated from anything that may damage your baby! would own tc of ur cals guys! l8r!!!

i could make up a electric shock device that would zap people if they touched it but then they could just earth it out and it would be useless.

i was talking to a security guy the other day at a shopping centre and he said that 3 car where stolen last week. he told me to always make sure your doors are locked (funny how many people forget this). and he told me to always reverse park in. never go in head first cause the guys can be hidden and do stuff that other people can not see. it will deture some thieves.

it gives me shivers every time i think about me car not being there in the morning. what about a giant club lock that goes through your 2 front wheels and locks them together. if anyone decides to make a set ill consider buying a set, (then expect royalties for the sale of course) lol

ar they can still just hook it on the tow truck and yank it on, i did a couple of runs with my dad on the nrma truck, there way a corolla that had rolled and was down a 10m cliff, i jumped in it and drove it to the edge of the cliff then hooked the winch cable on it, the truck pulled this car up a virticle hill without a sign of struggle, it would be beter to get a motion sensor in your car that would go off when the car is rocked or moved.

Hook up a couple of piezo buzzers to a timer with a hidden switch, linked to your ignition. Mount the buzzers in a hidden place inside the car (near head high of driver's seat). After 5 seconds of ignition "on" and hidden button not being pressed, Each buzzer starts up, buzzing at about 100Decibels each. The theif will either go deaf extremely quickly or will abandon your car before they get to the end of your street.

I like the positive coil idea.. make a hidden switch and activates it.. when they try n start it, it zaps them.. but you can turn it off.. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

nothing is really going to help as you can just hook it up to a tow truck and skull drag it onto the tray.
