I have Lojack's Early Warning System on one of my cars- I notice it goes for $995 now (yikes). What are you doing?

What are you doing for anti-theft?

I just bought a Henry .357 Mag. repeater rifle. Beautiful weapon and it doesn't draw that unwanted attention that an AR15 derivative would. I also keep a Remington Model 51 .380 pistol, a Taurus PT92S 9mm pistol and a 12 ga. home defense piece loaded with 00 buckshot. Unfortunately my large wolf/Husky mix died of old age last fall.

I disassembled mine down to a bare shell. I'd like to see somebody try to drive off with it! 
without legal hassle of killing someone I use a pedal lock and the old steering wheel lock. Considered LowJack but never got around to buying it.

Me too. Twelve years with no incidents.I disassembled mine down to a bare shell. I'd like to see somebody try to drive off with it!
When I drove Midlife around and had to park it for shopping (for example), I simply removed the gas tank and took it with me under my arm.

Didn't have a 20 gallon tank huh? And if it dribbled you went to the depends aisle?

The gas tank didn't need to dribble for him to go there. Randy was already headed to that aisle anyhow!
A main kill switch and a removable steering wheel.

but isn't it inconvenient to walk around with a steering wheel?

Manual transmission with King Cobra clutch and stock linkage is a pretty good anti-theft device by itself. I sometimes take the rotor out of the distributor.

Nothing, Keep it in the garage while at the house. Otherwise, I do not even lock it.
And if you go "Vroom.. Vroom " while you do it people tend to get out of the way.
Same here.
By keeping mine in the garage I avoid any danger of theft and such.

that's what I do too. I figure it draws too much attention for anyone to bother it.
When Mine was running I left it with the top down unlocked all the time.
It's worth more for the insurance money anyway so I might as well leave the keys in it too.

I have a manual trans. Nobody knows how to drive those any more.
Oh and good insurance.

we have pretty coverage too, my wife is a worry wart on the Power Tour and other time we leave it overnight in a hotel parking lot but I tell her that's why we have insurance. I probably should make it at least a little difficult to steel but again I figure most people will leave it alone because it attracts attention and they figure someone is always watching...
