Your Car Security Plan

[IronRat]

Kill Switches, GPS Tracking, Just pay the insurance & don't worry about it?

100 lbs. of teeth and bad attitude and leave the keys for a gut check...

Having lost my truck last year it's not so much the truck as all the personal stuff in it that insurance can't cover

 

[dutch]

hidden flip switch to start and a big a$$ train horn triggered by the start position of the ignition switch... [P that should make a great heart attack...

Remove the rotor out of the distributor cap. Fits nicely in your pocket just can't do it with factory gm distributors.

Coil wire kill switch. My Olds isn't going anywhere unless its aired up.

Some of my others, you just have to know how to start them. 2 Pumps and hold the pedal 1/2 down - that kinda thing or you better have starting fluid.

My truck is a stick shift - that ruins it for 75% of people now days.

My biggest concern would be someone with a flatbed and winch - kill switches don't help much then.

Without giving up your secrets on a public forum, what do you think is a smarter way to use a kill switch? or best combinations?

No question a determined theft will get the car eventually.

Security measure are really just something to buy more time.
Hopefully frustrate an amateur and increase the exposures time for a pro.

"Hello 911, will you please send an officer to 1st and Main. I'll ask my dog to release this car thief's ear when the officer arrives!"

My ambulance has a big steel ring under the dash to chain the shift lever to
The batteries have a kill switch and they are in a padlocked box
The fuel pump and starter switches are unmarked
And the doors are padlocked shut

 

[IronRat]

Anyone with a Mechanical Fuel pump using an inline cut-off valve?

If so who's valve do you use?

 

[HOT40ROD]

Hidden fuel shutoff and the key only turn on the power. Hidden button to start car

On my truck I plan on,

1. kill switch to electric fuel pump.
2. Dome light switches in doors, open door and alarm goes off.
3. Remove rotor from dist.
4. Mercury switch to alarm.
5. Owner with kill switch (pistol).

On my '48 I had a master disconnect.
A concealed switch on the electric fuel pump,
A switch in line for the coil power and
separated ignition switch that had to be on to for power to that switch.

On the '47 I installed a hidden master disconnect and a switch for the fuel pump.

If they want a vehicle they will get it one way or another.
Just keep the insurance paid I guess.

Well when mines aired down you cant move it lol, kill switch under the back deck lid, removable steering wheel and a pistol on my side

 

[Willowbilly3]

Nothing. I don't worry about it. I'm not sure the key has ever been out of the rpu.

Mine is still on the lift in my garage un finished. Nobody wants it.
