Default how to prevent theft

sup guys....

so i no a lot of our cars on here have been vandalized at one time or another!

i just want to see what u guys think are some good tips to avoid theft to our cars

recently my top was slashed and seats stolen right in front of my house so now 2morrow imma have a high end alarm installed with a dual zone motion sensor box also....

imma park my car in my driveway instead of on the street and cover my car so when/or if they try to do something they need to take the cover off to get inside and it'll set the alarm off....

do u guys think that is a good enough plot to prevent vandalism???

its ok, but if they really wanted to they can.

Set your alarm to high sensitivity so anything that walks by will set it off to help prevent it while parked at home.

Or the best way, get a garage.

i wouldn't recommend anyone buy this car unless they had a garage to park it in. even then i'd be afraid of something happening.

hmm. if you're gonna park in the drive way i recommend putting motion sensor lights. it may not seem much but its a start, lights draw attention that theives/vandals dont want. so it'll be a start. don't set your alarm to super sensive setting becuase it's gonna annoy the neighbors and no one wants to frequently hear your car go off... just think of the boy who cried wolf.
cover up your car and garage up. maybe even buy a hardtop... but the thing is that if a theif really wants to steal your shit they'll get it

Then at the end of the day, he would want to talk about trading car. He's already have a honda convertible, but he wants v-tec.

honestly he is right... without a garage this car is a hassle... everytime i go out with this car and im parked on the streets i bust a sweat. i always push my remote just to get some response on my pager just to see if anyone dismantled my alarm. seriously... owning a car shouldn't have to be like this.. we paid good money for an s and we lettin all these sucka ass thieves profit off our shit...

If you can get a cobra or other lethal poisonous snake, you can just put it in the S overnight. Just make sure to pull it out & put it back in the cage the next day before you take off.

So if the theif is in your car long enough, it will cost them more than they think.
