Thieves Scouting My New Car

[ponchonutty]

I suggest getting a real nice alarm like the new Python 3000. It is a next generation 2-way system that you can do all kinds of stuff via the remote like shut down zones and adjust the sensitivity! Then, I'd though extras on it like tilt and prox. sensors along with battery back up.

DEI also has these neat little relays that look just like OEM ones. You simply pop out your OEM relay like for the starter or fuel pump and pop the new one in. Inside this relay is a small microprocessor that can learn remote codes. You simple learn it to your new alarm remote and viola, you got instant engine kill.

Be patient if you go looking for this alarm. They just started shipping. I just got one last week and can't wait to through it in my demo car.

That is messed up. I don't see why you have to go pay so much money to invest in a security system because of some slime balls. I don'
t care what car you drive, it's still your property, if some jackasses want to come vanadlize/steal it then you have every right to defend it no matter what.
I will gladley go to jail for teaching jackasses that just because their parents screwed up doesn't mean I won't teach them a lesson or two.

I'll tell you the best anti-theft device: 30/6 with a nice 9x magnifying scope. Take that bullet to the back of one of their heads while they're ripping your exhaust out and I'll guaren-damn-tee he won't be trying to pull a DAMNED thing off your car again. And if you position it right, you can get brain matter all over his buddy. When he's picking his friends' brain out of his teeth and nose he'll be remembering why he shouldn't fuck with people's stuff. Especially their new cars. It's like a time-out. Only a little more severe.

Then resulting in a Time out for you with Bubba

Absolutely. You can only legally kill someone who is inside your house, correct? I'm almost positive if they're just on your property or in your car or something, that you can't kill them. Although, that doesn't stop farmers from shooting at you if you're on their land. Trust me. ME and a friend got shot at. I nearly lost bladder function. *sigh* those were the days.

Note to self: Park car inside house.

Yeah well my good friend has a beautiful home that sits on about 40 acres. He has a 5 acre pond that was built when they built a bypass near to his place. He likes to keep his boat in the water during the summer. Well, he kept getting assholes that would cross over the highway overpass and cut the barbed wire fence and stole all kinds of fishing tackle and threw what they didn't want in the water. They even stole the motor off the boat! This happened 2 times well, he's a good ole boy that don't take too much shit. He rigged a 12ga via trip wire where these assholes would cut the fence. Good news is that he got one. The bad is that he's serving 20 years to life now!

Have the exhaust welded. A welded exhaust is harder to steal then a clamped exhaust. Also have hangers made that stay close to the underbody so they cant get a sawz-all or hack saw in there. Only do that if you don't plain on changing out the exhaust or selling the car. That will basically make it so they need a acetleyne torch or plasma cutter to get it off. Finding a place that will do it will be the hardest part. Hanger could probably be made cheaply at a machine shop.

In 05 when I got it, currently has 60k on the engine, how did those miles get there if only 1 owner had it? I've contacted the state attorney generals office about this too since the dealer is uncooperative, he basically told me to piss off. Thanks for the advice, i'll see what I can do.

it was probably used by one of the salesman or owner of the dealership as their vehicle, or a loaner, they can just slap dealer plates on it and use it without registering it, i know 2 guys that own dealerships that do the same things on a ford explorer and a bmw 5 series

The dealership I work for does the same thing all salesmen/managers get their pick of any car on the lot to use for their personal vehicle.
