To be honest you can only try and prevent any thieft. If I saw 3 ctrs one with a disklock and alarm, one with tracker and alarm and disklock and one with only an alarm then I know which I'd try for! Best thing I ever bought for a car is my disklock. I've had the same one for nearly 10 years on 10 different cars and, yes I've had the odd stereo nicked in my festas but never a car. Even my scooby had it on for over3 years and I always trusted it, still do! :bigthumb:

Years ago, I remember a guy in our road owning a lovely black Supra. I remember it clearly because - aside from looking immaculate - it was covered in yellow mechanical security devices (wheel lock/ handbrake lock) and Clifford stickers letting you know it's equipped with security device X and Y.

Months later, I recall chatting to the bloke about the car when he'd apparently stopped being so obsessive about the security. When I enquired as to why he'd abandoned having SO many obvious mechanical and electronic devices to protect the car - he answered that one day, he'd come out to the car and ALL of his locks/ immobiliser/ alarm had been neatly piled on his seat with a note on top...

"If we want it, we'll have it."

Mr scumbag needs his own set of boxes ( ecu, black imobilsor box, and a fob). Then he can swap it for your one and start the car when hes conected his box's he can press his fob which will disarm the imobilser, the hardest part is getting in without the alarm going off most've the time you can pull the bonnet and pop the battery lead off on some cars the alarm doesnt go off on some it does! Basically its a pain and to much of a mission to swap boxes on a ctr just to steal it because these days its not really worth the hassle as there wont be the demand on the criminal market for a ctr. Halfmoon stop lock is the best option its the harder one to get off, if mr scumbag hasn't got big boltcropers its not coming off.

Doen't yours go off if you put your hand in the car through an open window when its locked then?

The best way to keep your motor safe, is lock it up in a decent garage. It's amazing how many people don't use there garage for what it was designed for. Out of sight, out of mind.

My oem alarm used to disarm if the bonnet was popped It packed up one day anyway so its been disconnected and replaced with something much better anyway.

Oh, i also use a disklock, brilliant things, i just take it from car to car with me.

the work bullshiter also told me a very similar story of his "mate", I thought it very dubious as why go to all that trouble and risk getting caught to not even take the car


so I looked on snopes - it's been around since the 70s:-

Maybe so, but people can still send a message to prove their work.

A couple years back, 'Lulzsec' sent a message to an internet security site promising something along the lines of $500,000 to anyone who could hack their site and code. He simply hacked it and sprawled over their main page, something along the lines of "Keep your money, I have enough already".

You don't have to take stuff to prove that you can
