Some of the seat locks have stickers you can place on the window, if I'm not mistaken. Then again, if you don't have the stickers but still have the locks, you only have your top slashed. You can drive a car with the top slashed, and even the seats slashed if you piss off the thieves, but you can't drive without a seat.

As for an aftermarket alarm - an alarm is only a deterrent. It doesn't prevent crime. They can be worked around, and if these thieves know what they are doing, it only takes a few seconds for someone to disable an alarm. I think, though, that a proximity sensor in the cabin would provide the most protection for this sort of thing... either that, or an electrified top

that sux, dom. sorry to hear. I really would feel uncomfortable parking my car here at home. I guess I'm glad it's staying with my dad, locked in a garage.

Aaron: don't give your home address. Offer to meet them somewhere public, nearby... Like a gas station or shopping center parking lot.

I'm going to have to start doing that. I don't want to seem shady to a legit buyer though.

Just explain why you are asking to meet in a different location. A legit buyer would TOTALLY understand.

FWIW, I think this is a VERY good idea...

Who needs to conceal in this State? You can pack heat as long as its out in the open.

Send a PM to Kodokan4 about the McGard locks.



I'm also working on a deal that would allow us to invisibly tag our seats but provide 100% infallible proof that the seats to law enforcement officials. I'll keep everyone updated...
RFID would be HOT. Just walk up toward the suspected seats with a reader in your pocket.
