Cops aren't doing anything to solve the problem and people are getting fed up with it. Same with cat converters.
Despite the recall, the people/posts in this forum are making me want to learn to drive a manual! (So I can buy one and drive it and have a lower chance of it being stolen. Not so I can go out stealing other people's vehicles!
)
Before I started Just Emptying Every Pocket, my financial priority was securing a safe neighborhood for my family. That way I avoid making life/death decisions over an insured object.
Just because they're insured does not mean there isn't a cost.
Sounds like lots of work. A rollback and a minute. Do do your deed in a warehouse.
Thing is, that old Lambo probably was a PIA to start. Thhose old italian cars took a bit of love to get them to start when cold. If you want the best theft prevention, get an old air cooled 911 that has Mechanical fuel injection on it. There's a 100% chance you'll never get it started unless you know the trick. With old school German cars (like Italian) they never mark anything and just assume you read the owners manual. Then if you actually got it running (assuming the batteries could hold up on the minute or two of cranking) you'll never figure out how to turn on the heat. Better bring a parka.
So you only drive the Jeep around your neighborhood???
I suppose in a big enough gated community it might be possible.
The private security patrols help as well.
Well that makes literally any preventative measures moot. But yes.
