    Default theif repeatively coming - what to do?`

    hey guys

    you may have heard a few weeks back someone tried to pinch my vc..

    well.. someone was hanging around AGAIN last night.. went out to confront them but they were gone by the time i went downstairs..

    my car has an alarm, clublock and i NEVER leave the face on my cd player and i also take the main lead off the dizzy.. what else can i do to protect it.. im getting everyone that lives here to put alarms in their cars..

    any ideas?

    dog? garage? gate?

    Try some security lights with sensors for your house, or get a big gun and fire some warning shots next time

    dogs are how i know he/she is there.. they go completly crazy.. garage is full of more expensive cars (which arent mine) and im usually stuck on the side of the road.. tempted to sleep in the car..

    i like the gun idea

    THIS IS IN EPPING, VIC.. be careful guys who live in this area...

    my nan lives in lalor.....

    if it's a problem, sneak out the back door and scare the shite out of them running and yelling and swing a baseball bat/tyre lever or whatever you can find.
    I have a 3foot length of 5x16 copper core wire, about 1/2" thick, really hurts when you're hit with it (hit myself in the leg being an idiot) but I don't have dramas with car theft yet *touch wood* it's for people who try to kill me when I'm riding my scooter

    Stuff warning shot's, just shoot them in the knee's, claim self defence and walk away

    I think people may think a done up car will be well protected whereas a stock car may not be. Thieving is a very low act, had my old car broken into twice and its the worst feeling knowing u wont know who did it.

    Hook up a motion sensor and have it wired to alert you inside the house and have a pinhole spycam setup that you can watch over the area. Leave the car in a well lit area for the camera to work.
