Well Im planning on going to my local car shop and getting a car alarm installed. Unfortunately all they have is Audiovox alarm systems but I guess its better than nothing.
Other than a car alarm, does anyone have any tips/experiences with preventing theft of audio equipment from our 2gs? Im now very worried about my cars safety.
Last night my buddy with a 99 GS parked his car at the movie theatre to watch a movie. He comes out to his car alarm going off and the drivers side window broken out. They had jumped in, ripped the trim and center console apart trying to get to this Jensen flip out. Thankfully, he didnt use a dash install kit, just the original mounting bracket, so they couldnt get it out. Im sure if they would have had more time and a simple screw driver they could have had it. They didnt touch his wallet or his GFs purse sitting the in the back seat. One of the theatre employees heard the car alarm go off and called the sherrif. Within 6 minutes of calling, he was there. He said this was the 3rd break in at that location that week.
So what can I do to stop a theif in the chance my car is targeted and they get in? I also have a flip out and its also bolted down. My preference would be to really fuck someone up who tries to grab it. Ive heard of people putting razor blades in there somehow. Should I just rig up a deadman switch to the ground? They take it, BOOM. New car and no more theif!
Thanks for any help I get. Its getting to the point I dont want to drive my car anywhere.
