Car Security
Hi guys,
Just wondering what you all use or recommend for car security. My car sits in my garage, but I was thinking about putting a steering wheel lock or something on it. People in Albuquerque have had cars stolen from everywhere.
Thanks.

Glock 19 Gen 4. Magazine with 15 rounds of Hornady Critical Defence FTX bullets. You can get away with 16 rounds if you have 15 in the magazine and 1 in the chamber.. (I take no responsibility, use at your own caution/risk/choice)
Other options are:
-Hidden Kill switch that will prevent the motor from cranking/starting.
-GPS tracking system..
-Brake Pedal Anti Theft lock
PS, I’ve had my previous Evo stolen when the thefts first started in the Chicago area. At the time I didnt have any anti theft things done. The car was found so I got to see exactly how they do it. Long story short, break rear quarter window to open back door and get in. Use black duck tape to cover broken quarter window and not make things look “suspicious” . Disconnect ECU from behind the glove box area and plug in their own Immobilizer bypassed tuned ECU. Break the ignition key lock to stick in a screw driver i assume and turn the ignition on etc...
In my case they drove the car to a random location and left it parked. I assume to check and see if someone comes for it in case of GPS tracking. Neighbors in the area where suspicious called the cops and my Evo was rescued.
So now you know how an Evo was stolen other than flatbed towing. Hopefully this will give you ideas on how to protect against it.
Good Luck,

I believe you need to protect your car from a few different angles, a good alarm with on board battery, a lock of some sort like wheel or steering wheel klub and snoopy neibours who know when you are away or not home or if tbe alarm goes off that it wont be you, if they want it bad enough they'll take it but they dont like being seen or their car being seen

The more locks the better, two way alarm with battery back up, cut off switches, wheel boots, steering wheel clubs. The more you have the more they’ll have to do to get it. Best investment is to rent or have a garage and lock it up inside also.

DRONE alarm is my favorite. I can log in from my phone 24/7 and know right where the car is. And I get notifications if anything is messed with. I pity the fool that messes with my car, though. I have two dogs and my friends Smith & Wesson.
And +1 for kill switches. I've used those since my Honda days. We got really, really creative (I.E. using cigarette lighter as a "key" was kinda fun to do), back then. I live in Fresno, CA... so owning a Honda is damned near impossible. LOL

Honestly a hidden battery kill switch is always a simple and cost effective solution, but whatever you end up going with, id recommend getting a tracker that runs off its own battery as an additional sense of security, also helps when leaving it in parking lots and such.
