Security & Anti Theft

[Mendari]

I've spent a lot of time searching for security & anti theft products. In particular, I've been looking for Hood Locks and Gear / Shifter Locks. I've only found these two links.

A good car alarm installed by a professional.

Not much you can do to prevent theft, just fuck with them long enough so that either they just give up, or so that you can come running out with the louisville slugger. If a theif is determined to, they will get your car.

Studies have shown a direct relation between proximity to warm-weather urban areas and instances of unplanned automotive deficiency.

In other words, get the hell away from LA...

I think it was something stupid, like a Saturn.

I'm planning to remove the manual hood release cable and replace it with an electronic trunk opener and adding the lockable hood pins from the link above. That way the thief can't get to the engine compartment to disable the alarm.
I also plan on cold welding (using J.B. Welds ) some jagged tin plates to protect the hood release mechanism. I'll take pictures and tell you guys how it went.

I remember someone doing the same with razor blades in his center console for when people try to jack his HU. It worked too, said that the HU was about half way out and there was a trail of blood leading out of his car and down the street.

Get those funky hood pins used on racing cars. Instead of using the huge cotter pins, use small locks with keys. That way they'll have to work harder to get inside the hood.

Also, get a real good alarm installed by a professional shop. DEI is the best around. You can have them install special sensors in areas around your car like mercury tilt switchs, motion detector, digital tilt sensors, and backup batteries for both the alarm and siren. DEI also makes a hood lock that works pretty well. Also, DEI has come out with these SSKR relays. They are small relays the same size as the ones in most cars. The difference is that they have a small reciever inside that works with the remotes from the alarm. You replace the OEM relay like your fuel pump or starter relay with one of these. They'd have no idea what's going on. They work great at my shop. People love them.
