    I read they claim the rate of recovery is exceptionally high, 8u% claimed in denver IIRC. Not sure if I believe it but some of them may be treating other's cars as short term rentals by the sound of it, and since consequences are nearly nil.

    Even though I don't live in those areas I am planning on using relays + and ardunio to make a theft interrupter. Since mine has some personal history I prefer not to get an insurance check.

    Any sort of a manual transmission is a theft deterrent.

    The three on the tree might keep them from driving away but they still might break in thinking it?s an automatic.

    Four on the floor is the way to go. They?ll peek in and see it and move along.

    The .mils chain the brake pedal to the steering wheel. Seen a few Hummers like that & some CUCV's.

    More cars are being stolen because our law enforcement doesn't put much effort into catching the thieves. They don't have any motivation because even if they do, the thieves don't go to jail.

    How many people have been arrested for stealing catalytic converters? I've read one story of someone being arrested. One. Zero effort being put into stopping it. None. Oh, the police will help you engrave your vin onto your cat, but they won't go after the scrap yards buying them.

    Someone I work with had their company truck stolen recently. It had gps. They knew EXACTLY where it was, parked in a garage in Aurora. They told the Aurora PD and the PD said they couldn't do anything to help. A couple days later the gps went offline. Truck gone.

    That's nothing new. My college roommate has his car stolen and found out it had lo-jack. The police recovered the car from a guys garage and did absolutely nothing. That was 20 years ago. Always trying to get a bigger bust.

    If people are stealing new rides with RFID keys and such, a $4 masterlock ain't gonna accomplish much

    I forgot, wire the electric fence charger to it. Neon light transformer will work too. Unless you have a better idea?
