Car Got Broken Into Help!

Hey,

This is the second time my convertible top got sliced open and no one got anything...

I have a great alarm and it goes off after the knife slices the top, but I want to prevent that!

Does anyone know any good ways to protect the convertible tops from that..


I was thinking about laying a metal or wood sheet over the top every night and then puting a car cover over it and tieing it on real tight, then if they try to stab and slice my top will be fine, and if they attempt to cut or take the cover off the alarm will go off and that gives me time to get out there,


anyone got any ideas???? Im at an apartment complex...

Not really much you can do unless you're real creative. Maybe mount a motion sensor or something close to your car, or a camera that watches it or something.

That cover is too much like work. You'll get tired of doing that every night. That's one reason why I really never want to buy a convertible. Too easy. I can't think of any good way to help protect yourself. Just make your area where it's parked secure with motion lights and sensors and alarms and shit. Other than that, that's about it.

Yeah this is the one major problem with having a soft top convertible. Sorry man, not much you can do unless you want to pay a body guard to watch your car 24/7 or something lol.

Sit out there with 4 economy size bottles of No DoZ, a lawn chair, and a shotgun then blow their fuckin brains out all over the pavement when they do it. Other than that, get a hard top .

Line the inside of the top with a fine wire mesh and electrify it with like 10,000 volts then kick the person in the balls (or ovaries) when they're convulsing on the ground.

Re: Car Got Broken Into Help!

Or you could glue a marble to the end of an arrow and shoot them with it. I bet that would feel good. Or like on Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, you could beat him to death with a 15" black rubber dick. Here, better yet you could combine the two. Nock up a big dildo on a bow and shoot them in face! Wouldn that suck? Just think you can get away with some free money then BAM big fake dick pokes out your fucking eye!

Re: Car Got Broken Into Help!

Check these out:

An in-car tazer, and a flamethrower...both officical security systems for cars. How badass is that? The taser one is $250, the flame thrower $665....not too shabby
