I'd like to get in on this if there are any left! Also, the sticker is key. Otherwise the would be thief would just slash the top and probably cut up or destory the seats trying to get them out.

I think I may have thought up a good way to catch these thieves.

All we need is some C4 explosives or a live grenade. Tie a hidden wire to the grenade pin and the other side to the seat. Just make sure the wire is hidden enough that they don't see it.

Plus, you hear right when the thief tries to take your car. Yeah you lose the car, but you make a police report that the fool tried blowing up your car, claim insurance. Now you have a newer car AND one less thief running around. A few times like this would make anybody think twice

Wish it was that easy.........

Seriously though, that whole idea kind of got me thinking. Aren't there super loud high pitched whistle like things out there that go off when there is a pin pulled on them?

If there is, you could seriously put one in the car and somehow wire the seat to it to where if someone DID actually take a seat out it would at least go off. I know this is basically an alarm, which anyone could install themselves as well, but people just don't get alarms enough. This MIGHT be a cheap alternative, and might be something worth looking into. Might make a thief drop the seat and run or something, or mmight just be enough of a warning to someone sleeping to wake up and kill the bastard.

Who knows.

I haven't checked in for a couple of days and I've got 11 PMs to answer!

I'll get back to everyone by tonight.
