Simple easiest method. Lock the steering at full lock, remove steering wheel ( all the better for you guys to get a quick release if you dont have one). Remove some fuses or relays. Have slammed car. Wheel locks. Done. ---

I had the same car stolen twice. The first time, it was recovered, repair and returned to me. I only put the ignition kill switch on but the thief bypassed it. The second time, it never left the driveway but was considered stolen / recovered. I had my kill switch on and fuel pump kill switch. They could by-pass the ign. kill switch (duh) but they didn’t know about my fuel pump switch. Hidden switches saved my day… ---

grab one of those gps tracking kits off of [dealextreme.com](http://dealextreme.com), install and track your car with your phone, google maps…etc… ---

yeah those gps trackers are pretty bad ass except that if any one really wanted to follow where you are… cops or crooks… they could just use the tracker as well. I don’t think the way its setup is so secure considering you can get it texted to your phone, available wirelessly, or on the web. Doesn’t take much to break a code and than bam… they can follow your car to that open parking lot while you do your 8 hour shift. And some of those trackers, not all, have a number that you can text to do things like open doors and start the car. Doesn’t seem so safe if now somebody can tell your car to open up while your gone right. Just a thought ---

^ Except for the fact that it’s probably registered directly to your phone number… so unless you let someone steal your simcard/phone… I doubt theres much they can do. Edit: Atleast I hope it’s that way, or they have some sort of safety feature in place to prevent that from happening. ---

if it can be created… it can be destroyed. If some same protocol they use only messages your phone… how hard would it be to gain access to that? If they can steal bank accounts from people still at the computer in their house, i think they could get a hold of something thats broadcasted wirelessly. ---

yaa, thats why im kinda doubtful of the gps tracker. i think Ravelco offers the best protection, its not any software mumbo jumbo, everyhing is physical, and the track record is really good. too bad the authorized installer/dealer are in the USA ---

its just a tracker, doesnt control anything on/in your car, just monitors where your car is. ---

chain it to the tree. yeah yeah your laughing. but they do sell a unbreakable chain and lock. you can even shoot at it with 12 gauge and nothing will happen to it. No grinder, or that giant cutter will cut throu them.
