Auto Theft

I just watched this show on the Discovery Channel and it is amazing how fast someone can steal your car. There was this one lady on film that got out of her car, locked the doors and before she even got into the Grocery store, someone was driving out the parking lot with her car.

The professional car thieves say devices like the Club are a joke. They can have that off in a matter of seconds. They also said the best device was something like a club, but it clamps to your brake pedal. It makes the car impossible to put into gear. But allot of them said cars are getting harder and harder to steal due to the ways keys and ignitions are setup today, but they can still take them if the want. Makes you think don't it? Also, they said the more Bling Bling you have on your car, the more they want it.

Quoted from the movie "Friday 3": Makes me want to go home and lock up all my *****........

Strategic paralell parking will.

If they can get it started to manuever it out of the hole, then they can just drive it off, they don't need the roll back.

Yeah right. Have you never seen a car dolly? Those things rule. I like to turn my neighbors cars sideways in their driveway on occasion.. keeps 'em on their toes.

A pallet jack will too... I did that numerous times when I worked at a grocery store in high school!

You would be so much fun as a neighbor!
Most my neighbors dont have a since of humor. So they get mad at me alot! Like when I droped my mower deck to the gound and shaved the word "HI" into one neighbors yard while I was mowing mine... I was just trying to let him know in a friendly way that it was time for him to mow too and say hi.. He could have mowed his but instead he was gone on a fishing tournmament... What's more important? His wife thought it was hilarious!

Yep, you're right,....unless you park a car behind the one being towed. It is ilegal for the "repo man" to tow your car if the is a car or somthing between it and the car that has to be moved.

Plastic explosives with a motion sensor = Nobody gets nothing and the car thief/repo-man are permanently retired…

lol theres really no way to prevent someone from stealing your car... car alarms only **** off theives. all u gotta do is cut the batter cable.. or break a window open the door and rip the harness out of the alarm and its off... id think the best method would be.... to take the cars ECU with u everywhere you go
