    Default How to make your car theft proof? (or close to it)

    What is EVERYTHING you can do to secure your car (not just VL's any car)?

    So far I have:

    Alarm with SMS alert
    Hidden Kill Switch
    GPS tracking system
    Tilt Alarm
    Immobiliser
    Steering club lock


    What else can you do to prevent theifs from getting in or stealing the car?

    My vote, 12 gauge shotgun and a sleeping bag...

    In all honesty, if they want your car, nothing will stop a tilt tray skull dragging it up onto its bed...

    I cut the power wire going to the fuel pump and hid a switch under the dash so i could cut power to the fuel pump. The bloke that bought the car off me forgot about the switch and accidentally bumped it so it was turned off. It took the RAA 2 1/2 hours to work out they had to turn the switch on so the car would run. I think the best anti theft device would be a hungry Rotweiler hiding under your car.

    I think the biggest thing you did was buy a VL.
