not sure if its been said but the best thing i can think of is sat tracking ..... your car can be stoped on the spot and location sent.... cops can be there within 5 min .... thats the best security i know of

more often than not, you hear of those who have had their cars broken into and then rolled down the street and then started and driven away from there... Avoid leaving your car overnight in a spot that the car can be pushed away from. Sloped driveways are good, or anything on a hill that is near impossible for them to push the car back out of...

if u have a long drivway that is between the house and fence, get a big steel gate or those removable poles in the ground that lock in with a key, however these do cost a fair bit but the worth it every last penny Id like to see someone even bother trying 2 steal my vl, locked and alarmed garage, 2 park cars with imobilisers behind it, a steel gate and a paslode framing nailer next to my bed, so asoon as i see em on my little camera they can expect to have some 3 inch nails in their azz this time round i aint takin no shortcuts, already had a vp calais stolen

i had a read through this thread (good idea by the way guys ) the point is people who steal vl,s most of them want parts, as they get harder and more expensive to buy, and things like ebay.... there is some easy money to be made out of the humble vl calais turbo........ dont matter what alarm door locks ect you have nothing is for sure to stop a theif you must think like one, and infact i spoke to a guy who once stole cars and he was f88king good at it and could get a vl in less than 2 mins with an alarm, but one thing is for sure i quized him on a few things and it all pointed to one thing, he knew the layout of most alarms imobilisers ect...... hmmmm almost all alarms protect the same one or to points of the car ..... starter ignition , mostly .... so i borrowed a mates na vl that i have done some work on he is not greatly mecanicaly minded and got the ex car stealer to have a go at geting it going , after 10 mins he couldent get it started ...... reason it had an alarm yes no probs but i also fitted a kill switch to the fuelpump only able to turn on and off inside the boot with a solex lock and button relise in the glove box gone you will need to bring a big axe to get it open. .... sorry for the ramble..... bottem line so many inexpenseive extra things you can do to stop them overkill yes but what wouldent you do to keep your car....... think outside the box people..... and whatever you do keep it to yourself, cos your bestmate may oneday not like you lol ......

I have alarm/imobaliser, solex locks and also hidden kill switches, plus a dummy switch that is wired to a relay that makes all the right sounds etc but does nothing, also a couple of little home grown tricks on my cars , a mate tried for three hours and still couldn't get one going, all looks as per factory except the false kill switch, even under the bonnet, so guys put on your thinking caps and see what you can do, early commodores are easy to get into if you know how, a matter of seconds . look closely at your car and figure it out, you can not have enough security even if his name is dingo.
