So true. Along with COVID, the left must go. There will be blood.

Add one of these on each axle with a proximity alarm system. Once stolen, you don't want to find your ride. Anti theft will soon replace seat belts as primary required equipment.

Look at it as a gift. Anything you wanted to do over, now you can.

The Sport model, with the base radio, has no connection to the outside world. No navigation, no homelink, no reports to FCA when you are due for an oil change, no "find my jeep" functionality, nada. As for the dealer installed GPS tracking units there are threads here about it, usually titled "what is this".

This is 100% correct. The internet connection and GPS are inside the 8.4" unit. If you unplug it, no more tracking!

Any competent thief would use a tow truck. You could hook up one side and drag it off in less than 30 seconds.



The JL (AFAIK) doesn't have any kinda tilt/movement/hood sensor on the alarm system. SO once they hook the Jeep and get it a block or two away, they could unplug the battery and the radio.

If the system was designed properly, the radio would ping the Uconnect server when it lost power and especially when the manual park override is pulled. But of course it doesn't lol.

The best way to deter thieves is with several very visible cameras. It's not a 100% guarantee, but it'll definitely keep a lot of the lazy ones away. A hood lock also helps, but yeah. if someone really wants to take your car, unfortunately they will.

Honestly, I'd much rather someone steal my car out of my driveway than when I was near/in it!

I would hope that insurance would give

They're not in the business of giving.

Well, then they should expect MANY more crimes to be met with deadly force, absent arrest and trial.

Unfortunately you can't defend property with deadly force, only life. Unless of course you want to give up your life to jail time. And UNFORTUNATELY is the key word here, as I have zero tolerance for criminals of any kind or level.

Unfortunately if you erase some human scum stealing anything from you, you will be the one prosecuted. Look at what the couple in MO are facing for just 'brandishing' a weapon when people are breaking and entering onto their property.

Well, the law covering that is MO 563.041, despite what the crusader prosecutor in St. Louis thinks. The governor has already said he'd pardon them if convicted.

Not true in Missouri, one can use deadly force to protect third parties and even property. Criminals injured while committing a crime can not sue and the family of criminals killed while committing a crime can not sue.

This is the one that covers property:

Maybe I need to move to Missouri!

...I don’t keyless entry so leaving the key fob isn’t a possibility.

Couldn't buy a Rubicon without one. Killed the deal for me. FCA just couldn't understand.

That didn't last long. 2100 miles and 3 months. Stolen from right in front of hy home.

You have Uconnect, they should have no problem finding it!!

I am sorry that happened, man. I would be crushed! I hope everything works out for the best.

Modern judicial and police indifference to property crime are today's incentives. There's simply no risk to modern theft practice. Laws must change to favor risk to the point that the victim can rise to say, "Alright, who feels lucky?"

in Missouri,

Was born in Maryville. All my blood from Skidmore. Remember McElroy? Stayed with uncle on the way to Cincinnati; doing fireworks, watched McElroy tear up a widow's corn field with his big 4WD pickup the weekend before he was checked out. Whole town pleaded for a year with law enforcement and politicians to do something. Well, not much theft or crime in that part of the country any longer. Info on Google is wrong. Only one gunshot professionally served. McElroy slumped over, foot on gas, engine maxxed revved for a solid 8 minutes, McElroy was gone well before the engine quit. No one saw anything. Wish the West hadn't turned so touchy feely liberal.

I'm from KC/Eastern Jackson County and I do remember this.
