Ok since im coming to Melbourne next week(I hope to see some of the nice VLTs of Melbourne) my dad has my VL right down the front near the garage with our other 2 cars parked behind it normally my VL is in between my bros ute and my dads work car. Since my driveway is on a hill it would be incredibley difficult to steal my VL we use this method whenever we go away and it has worked.

Keep it in a locked garage Chain the car down to the garage floor Get a few wireless webcams that can see in the dark buy an extra hard disk and leave your computer recording all night to that hard disk and don�t brag about your car on forums and what security you have remove fuses and ignition lead install a few kill switches dont attract attention were your just about to park or leave your car unattended (eg sub;s bov dose noise) the above assumes you have alarm, immobiliser, club lock, insurance and all that gear, so try that

A bit extreme but a guy i seen would open his bonnet and do some stuff in his engine bay then walk to the shops. I presume he was taking out fuses or leads.

It's not really extreme though. A nail will work for a replacement fuse.. Leads can be replaced.. Oh, and while its at home, how about the basics, lighting. Sensor lights that shine a very bright light onto the car and surrounding.. Dogs.. Get that sensor light wired up to a light in your room or something aswell.. That if you wake up in the middle of the night, and theres a light on in your room. You grab your bat and go outside and bash the theif, Or your flatmate and his root.. Either way.

Im hooking up a 'screamer' out of a house alarm to my new alarm i am installing. Basically if they can stay in and hotwire my car with that going off in the small area, they deserve a pat on the back.

If they want the car bad enough and they know what they are doing they will get it, You can stop the little ****ers taking it for a joy ride or stealing the stero or so what

be good if you could connect the coil to the ignition barrel without shorting out the car.

Rottweilers and Dobermans. Bar Lock on the steering wheel Bar Lock on the Pedals Bar Lock on the gearstick/handbrake All of course if you have an alarm hooked up. ****s gonna get in, go...ha, bar lock. simple, take it off. All the time the sirens going off, attached to a light in ur room, so it wakes you up. Then the thiefs gotta take the one off the handbrake/gearstick and finally the brake/accelerator pedal. By this time. You come down with a nice piece of metal or wood with nails in it. And the dogs. Hit the (unt with the wood, drag his arse outta the car and let the dogs go to town on his arse. Whenever i park the car at my g/f's house its always within the range of the sensor lights, so if they go off i've got a metal pole that i keep by her door and her dog's more than capable of inflicting damage (Rottweiler Cross Alsatian)

Dude, i no the best protection! its so simple yet so affective! You no the things that get put on your cars wheel when you part in like a no parkin area? You no? they give you a ticket and if you still dont come back they will impound your car and till the truck comes they put that big yellow wheel locker on one of your front wheels!. Think about it! car theif comes with a truck and they cant take it!
