Re: Best anti-theft device for new Honda?
I have thought about this a long time and all I came up with was park in my
garage all the time, park under a lamp post as much as I can, and have
nothing of value visible in the car.
FWIW,
I saw that the "club" could be removed in less than a minute or two.
They just cut the steering wheel !!!.
Window etching is OK, but can only be used when they "recover" a stolen car
and then try to find out who the owner might be.
Lojack, I thought was neat, because it has a tracking feature.
I wish, there was a study maybe about where they show the rate of thefts vs.
what kind of security
Just a thought. The later laptops have this "fingerprint" thingy.
What would it do in a car ??
A very long time ago, I had a friend who had a Jeep. One of those old Army
type ones.
Each time he came to my house, he took the shifter out !!!.
