speaking of this topic. ive been working in tampa for about three months. i go to wendys almost every day for lunch. there has been a honda parked at the back of the parking lot the whole time. at first i didnt think anything of it. it was in the same spot without moving everyday.
then the tire was flatabout 1.5 months ago and it still didnt move. so i was convinced it was left there. then today i noticed the rear tail lighyts were gone.(after market) so i decied to walk over to the car and look inside. the front seats were missing.
anyway now im thinking it was stolen and left there. it is a 97ish honda coupe. dark green. stickers on the windows, i think street glow is what they said. bright lime green interior. motegi rims. itsgotabunch ofbody damage. if anyone knows this car let me know and ill tell you where it is.

I set my car up with a security ecu conversion harness. Basically I mixed a bunch of wires up on the car harness side and then sent them back to their right locations in the conversion harness. I take the conversion harness with me and the car will not start without it. If someone did try to "fix" the wiring it would literally take a service manual, multi meter, and about 2 hours of time. CAr also has an alarm, and multiple kill switches. The only way to steal my car is with a tow truck and at that point there really is nothing you can do about it but try some ind of GPS device which should be located in something the theives would actually take out of the car when they strip it, like inside a nice pair of seats or hidden in the engine wiring harness or something like that. For example you can take the factory iab box on a gsr and hide a gps device in there.

taking the ecu means nothing i know of a car theif who brings a ecu with him .and i know a guy who took his ecu with him in the mall when he came out his car was m.i.a.so ecu is not the answer.the only answer is this.a damn tire boot

I used to encase my car in a block of solid carbonite when I parked it. Unfortunately some Carrie-Fisher-looking bitch came and stole it.

i preffer not to install alarms

I do have a real time gps traking on my car, very affordable.


If it was to get stolen, first id look the car up online then, would follow them to their house and:

let them do what ever they wanted with the car

then i would

find out their schedule
stalk them



kill their their dog/cat

burn their house down

break their legs, arms and leave them in their front yard

maybe id call the cops after

maybe

I think we got a winner.I figured you were ahead of the game unlike most of us.
