With as many of us on this forum that have been victims of these assh.ole thieves, it should be a well known and documented fact now that if you leave your s2000 outside unprotected, it will be targeted. The HT doesn't stop them...they stole my wheels instead. I just discovered friday that someone tried to break into my car while it was parked at UCF...they damaged the window molding on the driver's side where they used what ever tool it was they had to get into the cab, then proceeded to screw up the finish on the inside of the door where most cars have the interior lock/unlock pin. Fortunately for me, whoever tried to steal my car was a f.ucking moron and doesn't know where the unlock is located inside the door

I swear to god, the next person I even see look at my f.ucking car is getting shot in the face. Quote me.
I've contemplated leaving my HT off for a night and leaving the car parked outside on the driveway again and sleeping all day so I can stay up and hide in the bushes thru the night and then...well... I should stop now, since this could be used against me later as "pre-meditated" evidence.

These f.ucks need to be f.ucking killed...no more playing around.

Here are the options as I see it.

1) Replace your own seats with RECARO seats. I don't see many thieves stealing after market seats, mostly OEM.

2) Alarm with remote that notifies the owner via cell or key chain when it is going off.

3) A baseball bat for the above incident so you can go outside and claim your F'ing property.
This is what I am going with:

1. Garage (my house, my parents house, my girlfriends house...)

2. Hardtop bolted on

3. Insane alarm (pager, second battery, proximity sensors, tilt sensor, etc)

4. Key code start system, no more start button

5. security cameras (motion sensor recording/text message)


Not sure what my plans are for seats yet.


Anything other ideas?

Any alarm suggestions or examples I can see?

Thanks,

James

^Bullet resistant glass so they can't break the windows.

Sorry to hear about your loss.

I put razor blades under my seats to cut you if you try to steal them. Sucks when I drop something under the seats though

using a dye pack will work too ... set it up to break and spill/spray the thief so you can easily identify them. Usually last 3-4 weeks

I can't go to the mall and have a good time cause all i think about is my seats. No way in this earth can i leave it parked outside in the beach while i'm at the club till 4am. It's kinda like i want to have a beater to drive around but then why would i have my s???

Thats how I feel.

I've though a lot about just selling the car, but I can't come up with something else I would enjoy driving this much.


But seriously, what is the point of having the S if I can't take my girlfriend to the movies in it?!?!?!?
