What column collar lock did you use? I could only find this one

I use this one, which is sold at Pep Boys for $50.

I agree, alarms are pretty much useless. Only one I'd consider running is some kind of VERY well concealed silent-paging alarm. That might be handy.

Anyway, what you need is a big azz pist off hungry Rottweiler. I don't care how dedicated they are to stealing your rig, when that rott is tearing their arm off, they'll start to think your neighbors rig is more appealing. Anything that could stop the dog is loud enough to alert you (wild yelping, gun shots etc). Either way, you have a 1st line of defense, and you know something is up before the bad guys even start to work on your truck...

dude first that sucks!


last week while working I hjad all of my tools and my optima battery stolen!


not at the house though, our nieghborhood only has one enterence and has a couple cop cars in it, I leave my rig wide open, but since my truck is so crazy I dont worry about them steeling the truck itself, when it was a nice rig with the 1 tons I was real worried though...


I choose to live my life the way I want and try to to let it effect me, even tonight I just added some musical listining enkoyment pieces to it...


I just dont care anymore, now I just dont leave my tools in her.



but if they were trying to steel my whole rig..that would be different, I think your issue is your truck looks to nice....you need to getto that thing up, retard the timimg so it backfires like crazy too!...oh and buy one of those decoy camera's with the flashing red light!

Here in NY the police started a program. You get a window sticker, and if a cop sees a car with that sticker operated after 2a.m., or near a shipping port or border, it gives them permission to pull it over and check ID. Might help if they get away with it. I`d take off all the plastic door lock knobs and replace with the smooth ones, maybe tape a couple razor blades under the dash, in case they go feeling around for the kill switch. Good luck!

here's my friends story:

him and a few friendswere at the friend's shop working on his dirt track street stock. Someone jumps in the burb(which is in the shop and has the trailer unhitched but chained together) and takes off. First he jams the accellerator since the trailer is kinda stuck getting out the doors of the shop(key care care in salinas,ca). He get it free and goes down the street sparks a flying, the trailer's chains finally break and my friend is chasing them and starts moving the trailer out of the middle of the street. THe cops show up while hes doing this and think hes the thief but he tells him whats happening. They find the burb a few miles away later, nothing changed inside of it...WTF!!!!!!?

checkbook and all other stuff there!

should have had a big freaking dog though.

If you want a little "vigilante justice" (not that I'm condoning that)....you could always install a paging-style alarm, and have the alarm setup so that there is no audible/visual indications that the alarm has been tripped..... it just sits there completely silent as the thieves begin their work....sending the "help me" signal out to you.

Once you get the "page"....you can simply run outside and deal with the perpetrators directly and they won't have any advance warning that you might be on your way.

yeah, what 72 said. When you get pages, let the Rott out first, have the wife/gf/friend call 911 and step outside with your favorite 12ga. 12ga is good in this scenario not just because it had mad firepower, but if you need to disable the other guys car you could always shred his radiator with 00.

This many attempts, its time to get ugly. I'd use the whole box of blades under the dash. Think how good you will feel with your DNA evidence.

I tac welded a bunch f exacto blades to my amp case when it was in my ex's bronco,

when some one tried to steel it it sliced them um really bad, after telling people about it, the general response is that I am lucky the guy didnt try to press charges on me or sue!

I am all gung hoe of f-ing up a thief in the night though

Thank you very much. Yes she is and hopefully her next heat will bring some more beauties just like her.
