Tips Not To Get Your **** Stolen

[flsurf420]

What are some good tips not to get your shit stolen? I mean I'm not scared to crack a bat over someones head for stealing my stuff. But I just want to know how other people can stop from getting robbed.

lock your car

take the faceplate off every time you leave your car for more than a couple hours, never turn it up anywhere near where you park (home, school, work, etc), don't tell people about your system except for people you know and trust, hide your wires and anything else that you can, get an alarm

buy one of those fake radioshack security stickers

BIG BOLTS!!!!!!!


Every head unit Iv ever seen has a threaded hole in the back, and come with a bolt that fits it, usualy its double ended, and comes with an 8mm nut as well.

Its not hard to build a steel bracked out of aluminum strip, or some tin, or what ever you have and use it to bolt your stereo into your car.


Of course if anyone wants it bad enough they will find away to get it out, but it will stop anyone who only has time for a smash and grab.

I've been through 4 headunits and I've never seen that...

i think the older head units had those holes, but my new alpine doesn't. but i would say the best way to protect is your car is to hire a homeless for a beer an hour and give him a gun and to shoot anyone that tries to break in. hehehe

turn your music down when you get to where you are 5 minutes from parking

everywhere I go is 5 minutes from where I park. Use plumbers tape (that metal strip stuff) and strap your boxes down. Make sure EVERYTHING is secured AND hidden. This can stop them from being taken, but not damaged. My bro had 3 Cerwin Vega - Vega 12's in his truck, secured, and since the person couldn't get ANYTHING out, he smashed the subs and stuck a piece of metal into the cd player. Couldn't find the amps (bolted to the bottom of the seat, so when you looked under you couldn't see them). This was his second stereo system, his first was stolen completely.

Good Suggestions, What if ur stuff is in a trunk, how can they get it then? U cant pop the truck unless the car is on so what do they do pick it? I doubt anyone at school can pick locks. Good ideas keep em coming.

i think the best way would be to ty and make the entire interior look stock. put nice aftermarket speakers behind factory grilles. definately take the face plate off whenever u leave your car. as far as woofers and stuff, i would think if they are in a custom enclose that fits in with your car then it would be harder to steal.

In a lot of cars, the back seat flips down, just pull everything out that way. I don't know many cars where the key has to be on to pop the trunk. Oldsmobiles - yes, haven't heard of anything else though.

Here is a good tip: 5% Limo Tint. They wont see inside, and there not going to risk the smash without knowing what to grab.
