No matter what you do, the Jeep can be put in neutral via the pull tab in the center console. Flat tow, trailer, dolly etc and it’s gone. They can figure out how to bypass whatever you do later, or just part it out and sell it off. Just get good insurance and call it a day. If they want it bad enough it will be gone.
Exactly.

if I want to steal something, I’ll get a tow truck. You see them snatching cars left and right yet nobody questions if those picks are legit (including LEO)…..

Yes that's how most of them are stolen That's why with that tracking device EVT the minute it starts moving it notifies you and them and they call the police. I'd rather not have a claim on my insurance because your rates go up pretty good when you make a claim

Maybe start setting explosive traps on ignition, mafia style, and let the blame fall on whats left of the thieves' shoulders when we collect our insurance checks ?

So I did the Faraday bag for both my remotes, seem to work great, but I was seeing thieves steal Jeep via the OBD/OBD2 port or the SWG Port, I was wondering which port they are going after OBD OR SWG? I HAVE A 2020 JEEP WILLYS.

Also seen the Taser Mini as a solution, pin number etc. but I also seen that they can just remove the device and plug there device in, unless I am reading it wrong, please let me know what you have seen.

Regards,

DR.
Do you have a source showing thieves using the "ports"... ?

every thread/article/instance I have seen , the thieves are outside the vehicle with an IPad type object and go under the hood.

EVT My Mopar. It's a tracking device If the vehicle moves without being turned off with your remote it's connected and you can't just pull a fuse and kill it very quick because of the brain is hit up underneath the dash hard to get to and when they open the door it's going to go off The minute my vehicle moves without being turned off and notifies me and the tracking company and the police are called I can locate my vehicle 24/7 within 5 ft of where it is. Lars do nothing nowadays as we know most vehicles are stolen with the tow truck or with the push start it sends a signal all the time back and forth to the vehicle and they have a blank laptop device and it can just put it on your garage door and and still the signal from within your house of the remote and then they put it on a key fob that that's blank. On Amazon you can buy those little pouches for about $10 It's the same thing like people still in this signal from your credit cards. Put that little remote in your the pouch when you're at home you can't even get in the vehicle it won't start even with the remote inside the vehicle because it's not sending the signal it's blocking it. But if they did get that signal and they or they tow it like I said there's been a couple times for some reason it didn't turn off and I start driving down the road they'll call me and say are you in your vehicle and I said yes okay we have a signal saying that it wasn't turned off and it's moving You don't want to wait till 8:00 in the morning when you get up and they've had 10 to 12 hours use it the one dealer I go to every vehicle in their lot has it It's $150 for a year it's not bad. They've had a vehicle that got stolen and taking Mexico and they found it went and got it It's almost like OnStar except long story people know where to pull the fuse pretty quick This is a little different look into its best deal you can get the tracking devices is the way to go Like I said I can always look at my vehicle see where it's at. When I was at the dealership and he told me they were in it was in a shop being worked on at the time I talked to him It was a lie because it was still sitting out there in the lot I could see it It never moved for days lol This is the best device you can get Yes this is a long post with sorry I just wanted to keep talking I guess lol. 877 477 3710 at least give them a call and talk to them about it you'll be glad you did
Clift note version please... a.k.a. whats the tracking device called ?

They have them in a container at the port within hours, and probably on the way to another country by the time you wake up.
Yep, I bet the folks who know how to program out a Jeep and drive it off are more than your average car thief.

Yeah, they start with stealing catalytic converters. And then before you know it, they are moving up to full grand theft auto. Jerks. ?

That's why you want to be notified once they start messing with your vehicle. Not 8 or 9 hours later when you wake up in the morning and realize it's gone . By then that could be in Mexico especially from Texas. That's why the track device I have notifies me immediately
