Auto Theft
Not sure where to post this thread.
Wondering about purchasing a "Pedal Jack" for auto theft. Have a new Corolla. Anyone have any knowledge or experience with this device. Claims to be better than the "Club" because you can't saw off a pedal like you can a steering wheel due to industry standards?????????

Way better than the club, cause its more hassle to rip it off, but nothing is theft proof.

its REALLY good if you got a manual, stick it under clutch, but I've seen cars stolen, and recoverd stripped down, but with it still firmly in place on the brake pedal. if the people stealing the car are doing it for parts, not for a joyride, they will not have a problem shorting 12v to the brake check solenoid to bypass the shift lock, and then useing the e-brakes in nuetral to slow down.

I've always thought a hidden "kill switch" would be the best, breaking the closed circuit. Hide it under the dash somehow and rig it up so that your battery's only connected when you hit the switch.
Would that cause any charge storing problems?

A simple approach is to just disconnect the battery leads when you leave the vehicle somewhere. No gauruntee or anything but most people who try to steal cars aren't that smart and are usually to scared to pop the hood and try and fix something.

Re: Auto Theft
I believe ,only FBI and CIA hire criminal gangs in foreign countries. and sell all stolen cars there.
Why because, well connected country,everyone being monitored, how cars will go to Latin countries? I think FBI,CIA &small politicians involved in this. Then only sell, make billions out of it. Money deposited in Mexico. Anyone wants debate . ur very welcome.

Re: Auto Theft
I would be a little skittish about routinely disconnecting the battey on an OBD II car.
Disconnecting a battery seems to have different consequences depending on the car. Some cars, it takes a long time (more than a month) to set all the check flags, and if you don't have most of them set, you might not pass an emissions test. Although most cars will set all of them within a week. --------------------- Personally I'd pull the fuse or put in a REALLY well hidden switch for the fuel pump.
