Re: [T3] more thoughts toward the future


<x-flowed>Seriously consider getting a device that tracks the location of the car.
There are a lot of resellers out there that install and do this, check
out the high end auto audio stores. They are not cheap however.

There are a few home-made devices out there that use GPS, cell
phone, and what-not to allow you to locate your car, in case it
wanders off on you. I saw the results of one a few years ago that
a VW bus person created, and then allowed us to locate his bus
using the web. I don't have any ready resources.

There isn't any way to completely prevent a determined thief
from getting any particular car. There are just ways of defeating
the most common ones.

For a drive-away theft = hidden fuel shut off switch, allows the
car to be driven, but only enough to get stuck in a visible spot.

You can buy a copy-cat DenverBoot that clamps over a wheel
to prevent it from being rolled away. I have no idea how effective
they are however.

Anything to slow them down, is a good thing.
