    that's my solution - I drive a 1990 Daihatsu Charade, live in a dodgy neighbourhood and park on the street - not only has my car not been stolen, it hasn't even been broken into :cool: /jason

      My wife's car has been stolen twice within the past 6 months. The first time, we got it back. This time we may not be so lucky. In any event, I want to protect our remaining auto and our future ones, too. The only device I know of (besides a car alarm) is The Club, but I know that it is easily defeated. Can you recommend any other devices that are effective at preventing theft? Jon Sagara As you may presently yourself be fully made aware of, my grammar sucks. Sagara.org | Blog | My Articles

      If it's a ready-made device you want that you can buy in a store then the thieves already know how to get past it. Steve T

        If we get it back this time, we're selling it and getting a Geo Metro. ;) Seriously, though, we probably will sell it. It's a 1991 Honda Accord, which, according to State Farm's Web site, is the #2 hot car in California. It has been a great car, but it's time for something else. Thanks for the feedback. Do you have a LoJack? Jon Sagara As you may presently yourself be fully made aware of, my grammar sucks. Sagara.org | Blog | My Articles

        I don’t know this for sure but doesn’t OnStar offer a vehicle recovery service? As memory serves they can not only locate the vehicle but remotely disable it as well. Might not be a bad alternative, as lojack is only available in certain parts of the country. Plus you get the other “features” of OnStar. Or you could drive an old rusty pickup truck like me. :)
