What kind of security system do you use on your car ?
 

It may not be the best thing to post what kind of security system you have on your car. But with a few recent thefts in the news, I figured that I would ask anyway.

Or maybe a few suggestions for others, when they leave their cars at a car show.

Ruger.....

Stay out of Detroit.

if it's stolen it's stolen and I buy another one.

My cars are small block and the vert is a Malibu so it isnt as desirable so I just keep them well insured even though to me they are irreplaceble .

IMHO, a electronic tracking device hidden in your car somewhere, like under the rear seat.

Im not a fan of alarm systems.
but i do like fuel shut off valve or switch.
or a switch to kill the ignition system.

Alarm systems are only deterrents and will somewhat slow down a perspective rookie thief or a teenager looking for a joy ride.

The high-end collector car like we are discussing here are typically hauled away by professionals.

This is why I say if you can't stop them, you sure the heck should be able to track them by imbedding a tracking device of some sort in your classic.

I do like disabling a car, I have done that many times in the past. But a tracking device would be something to do too. Any suggestions on where to get one ? Is there one that may be better than the next ?

flash, you have some beautiful cars. The vert is my favorite. Don't discount what you have, it is all desirable to the right person.

Ms Grumpy, Lojack is a common tracking device, and there are others as well. The $700.00 price tag is a lot, but consider the price of never seeing you car again!

Starter kills can be bypassed by most punks now days, fuel shut-offs can be bypassed by a car hauler with a electric winch or tow truck. Just something to think about if you car is out in the public left unattended, just the times we live in.

Drone mobile.....

Smith & Wesson, Winchester, Remington, Glock.........u get my drift !! Live too close to Detroit........these are standard tools.

Lol Ken. :)

I'm with Ken, I doubt any thief can outrun 2800 feet per second projectiles.

I will pull the coil wire as well. My father told me to invest in some small padlocks. When they bought their 72' brand new, he employed small padlocks and stuck the coil wire in his back pocket.

Do you do anything to disable your car when storing it for anytime. I know that the battery comes out in the winter, but is there anything else you do ?

I have to leave the battery in it (disconnected) and also the keys. Its indoors, heated and someone there 24/7. Where I have my car I trust these guys 100% as the owner and one of his drivers are car guys. I also used to do the same kind of work (Police towing & City impound yard) in Livonia a while back.

My home and shop is constantly watched from many areas by many people and anyone that is not normally from around here will be questioned about why they are here .We have a unique neighborhood watch system in place and most people here are armed after a few robberies a few years ago . We are out in the country but we look out for each other in many ways and our LEO's are great .We have a sheriff's precint about a mile away so they are always traveling through the area and they know all of us in the community.

Ken, where I store my car, they DON'T want the keys. You park it, do any last minute things, cover it, and say good bye till April. That is unless you have made previous arrangements to get it out, or give Brian 24-48 hours notice.

Some people may not like this, but for me, it is perfect.
