    so your saying, that i.e. a $5k-$20k audio system is "stupidily left in the car"?? i dont think so.. yes you can practically weld it in there.. but if they want it, they'll take it!

    I have seen some wild old commies, that i would take ANYDAY over a bmw.. dont say a pro wont bother..

    see you been reading some of the brochures i sent down. was considering getting one of those just to be different but can only find listings for US vehicles for em.

    i have been known to remove the momo steering wheel for the theft deterent reason. it only takes 2 minutes and not many thiefs carry a spare steering wheel

    half dedent commies get nicked here all the time, especially if they have some decent gear on em. i have locknuts on 3 of the 5 studs on every wheel cause i've seen what happens when the ycan't get one locknut off and you don't notice till driving down the motorway and said wheel parts company with car cause single stud has been ripped clean out of the hubb

    Take the instrument fuse out, the car won't start without it. unless the thief has one in his wallet

    take the rotor out of the dizzy if u park in a suspicious area...u'd be able to wedge a screwdriver in the fuse socket if u take it out...not many ppl would want to steal my car so i just use the ol padlock on the auto gear selector

    In most cases if someone wants it they will get it!!
    However most of the time its just young d**ks that take em for a joy and looking for a soft target.
    If they see one with an alarm and one without then they will go for the one without.
    Imobilisers are easy to bypass (if you know the wirring) with a simple aligator clip or cut and twist however with an alarm at least the siren will almsost always go off. There are ways to bi-pass this but really most of the time it is just easier to find a commy without an alarm.

    hook the horn up to your main interior light. with a main switch in the boot to turn it off and on. when the door opens they'll run..........fast.
    make sure your boot light doesnt actvate your interior light!!!!!!!!!

    Piezo screamers are quite effective.

    I have them in my boot and cabin.

    If I forget to disarm the thing and then try to start it, instant headache for the rest of the day.

    I got back to my car after uni one day and the boot was open and the screamers were going off, the noise was incredible and I could hear it before I even saw the car. It certainly saved my stereo gear in the boot.
