Celica Forums General Discussion General Ways to stop theives

So what does everyone do to try and stop having there car broken into. Tinted window so you cant see in, alarms, the club, autolock, pitbulls lol
I always just lock my car and try to hide everything i can away such as cd's, radar detector, loose money and atms cars. I also try not to blast my stereo into my parking stop to try and avoid any extra attention. And at night i always park in our garage.

Your turn

Blacked out back windows. and my detector and crap are up above the Windshield Visor stip so you cant see them from outside... PLUS:

I got this makes me feel better.


Responder Systems from Python are simply the most advanced 2-Way Security and Remote Start systems in the world! The interactive display on the Responder remote confirms all commands - virtually instantly - with easy to understand icons, plus text! It alerts users to security system triggers by
beeping or vibrating when out of audible range of the siren. And of course the 881XP and 581XP will start your vehicle with the push of a button, and you'll get confirmation back that it started, from up to one-quarter mile away!



It says "from up to one-quarter mile away!" but mine seems to go further if in the open. I park 1/4 mile from my office at work and Im inside a building I still can get 2way from my car in there.

I pay someone to stand guard -

i put an invisibal electromagnetic field around my car so that if anyone gets within 50feet of it they will get shock'd

^^^
ingenious -

i have a "do not steal" sign

Never leave anything laying out. Nothing is in my car, not even a jacket in the backseat. If I go shopping and have bags, those go in the trunk.

i sleep in my car

i have two stuff animals and a heart shape box, makin it look like i dont have any thing good inside

i have flame throwers on the side of my car...come to close and your roasted

my car shifts into 1st n runs away

I saw that one tv once.

I also tuck things behind the drivers seat/passenger seat.. if I use them a lot.. its hard to see that area through the tiny windows.

tinted windows and alarm.

OMFG I almost wet myself on that one ROFL

insurance that doesnt try to fuck you when you try to make a clain. technically nothing will stop someone from breaking or fucking with your car. but what i always wanted to do was create a long metal pole aat least 6 ft long and 8 inchs wide under the seat so when someone steals your car you hit the button and that big ass pole goes up there ass what a way to die with a big stick up your ass

damn all of you people have vivid imaginations!! hahaha good stuff! Mine would be 5% tint in the back and 20% tint in the front and a good alarm system! THats kewl with me thats what i had on my 97 camry. Heh check out my first ride! Pretty pimp for a camry

Oh and one last pic! dont laugh too much now lol

yah i pretty much keep my car in the garge but since im at college now its outside 24 7, so i got my windows tinted, keep absolutly everything hidden, plus i got one of those ricey blinking lights on the dash lol but other than that i have the stock toyota security system

my car transforms into a monster and eats the thief

haha that would be tight if a car could actually eat a thief

Put vasoline on the steering wheel, so they can't drive it away.

yeah saw it in the guiness book of world records, something like best alram system or something..it shot out 6 foot fire ball, it was on a bimmer

one fake security camera at my house, with flashing led lol real hidden camera, cause i do want to skull fuck the person who even tries breaking into my shit... my old car has a thin layer of wax put onto the windows so things like the porcilin froma spark plug wont break it. both have alarms, my rx7 has shaved door handels so that wont help them... flood lights on the house with motion sensor. thats about it, i also own multi handguns and dogs. when i got out to like the mall, i try to park under some light and try not to make my car stand out, i dont leaving anything in it, hope for the best.

I have tinted windows & alarm...

My car has invisible mode.

haha...funny one ravertony

LMFAO

Honestly, tinted windows doesn't make your car less a target.

To me, tinted windows means you are hiding something and I would be more likely to break into your car to see what you are trying so hard to hide, that is...if I broke into cars.

uh o...^^hide you cars everyone, we have a thief

I have a $250 a year insurance rider that if my car is ever stolen/joy riden in, I get full reimbursement for the purchase price of the car, regardless of depreciation.

word...

Environment is the important thing. If you live or work in a high crime area you will probably get broken into. Alarm, or no alarm. It does't help that we are driving flashy cars either. Lo-jack is a viable option for theft of the vehicle. Alarms seem to be ineffective due to the false alarms. No one pays much attention to a car alarm going off anymore. Good luck!

2 way alarm and tint here...

Does the Python 2 way remote start only work with auto trannys?

I just completely RICED OUT my ride so nobody likes it.

^^^
- that'll do it

I didnt really rice out my ride but IMO it would be a effective auto theft deterrent

Well I live in a great area and work in a great area, that helps but does not mean it will not happen. I can see my car at all times at work and can get to it fast. Also I have an alarm with lowJack, use a club and a autolock. I have just the stock stereo so no problem there and I keep all personal items out of site or out of the car.

the remote start will only work with autos. how is the car going to push the cluch in by itself?

My CompuSTAR remote/starter works on my 5speed

I've got the stock alarm system, Lo-jack, and Tint. Oh and at work I only park it in places I can see it if I look out the window.

wounldnt that make your car stand out even more?

^^^
I believe he's stating that thieves wouldn't steal from highly noticeable areas such as a well lit spot... they'd prefer dark corners where they can ply their trade

i leave my car out... but we have flood lights on the front and side of our house, and our neiboors floods go off at the same time as ours (weird)

Manuals can also have remote start!

I lock the doors but if i had more money I'd get the club, and the auto lock.. also got the fake security camera installed infront of the house..

hmm maybe i could put one in the celi i do have an extra one and it rotates when it senses someone and blinks lol...

pictured below is my former math teacher.. we gave him an auto lock after his car got stolen wrapped in duct tape

Yeah and a thief will probably like it better if the window is tinted anyways, makes less noise. Without tints if he breaks the window glass goes everywhere and makes some noise. With tinted windows the glass sticks to the tint and doesn't make much noise compared to a window without tints.

wut pisses me off is that we even need to talk about this .. we should never have to be safe from theves .. . damnit!

i got a matrix 2.5 x ( by clifford) plus a motion sensor. since i got them i didn't get any break in attempts. i got two before.
of course i had to change my battery ( thank god ) under warranty given that the motion sensor drained it. but it's really worth it. better spend money on a battery than on body work , and paint.
