I'm headed home for the holidays on Saturday and I am leaving my car parked in my apartment complex lot for 3 weeks. Its a very quiet area but I still am going to worry. What's the best way to deter thieves? I plan on backing up to the curb and turning the front wheels. Pull some fuses? It will be under a covered spot. I realize they can flat bed it if they really want it. Just looking for some ideas. Thanks!
Best way to deter theft of car?
- Thread starter Azsnake
- Start date
see how much it is to rent a storage jawn for a month :shrug:
Take anyone of a number of fuses out, fuel pump etc..
Plus your car has PATS security so 95% of the time it would have to be towed from the complex!

Get one of these, guarenteed to work!
No, j/k, I lived in an apt complex for 2 years, and every single night I would step outside too look to make sure my cars were still there. But honestly, I would throw some locking lug nuts on it, and crazy as it sounds, a anti-theft bar. This looks crazy, but a lot of thiefs will not mess with a car that they have to do extra work to steal. Tinted windows also help. GL :thumbsup:
keep the ride in the living room.
dude your sig is ****ing huge again....
And OP most of the time they'll have a repo style wrecker and yank your car in 30 seconds if they want it bad enough.

Take a shit and put it inside.
:lol: I actually lol'd.
I called and its pretty inexpensive to put it storage for a month. I *think* I may go that route for the piece of mind.
A cougar in the back seat works wonders.....
If you cant put it in a garage somewhere then your pretty much ****ed. Ask around, ask friends, parents, etc. Someone will surely let you use their garage for maybe a trade of some sort.

You're in AZ, right? Round up some rattlesnakes and throw them in the car....If anyone breaks in, well, they're in for a helluva surprise! lol
Put the car up on cinder blocks and take the wheels off. It'll look like someone already got to it. No one likes sloppy seconds!
I lol'ed:lol:
Hey, this should work:

Buy yourself a detachable Momo steering wheel and carry it around on your backpack
Similar situation when I was in the AF. I lived right out the front gate off base, and was driving my mustang home for the first time. Gone home for two weeks. Luckily I put my truck in a gated storage shed. While I was gone some local punk kids went around the apt. complex, popping car doors open with crow bars and stealing the stereos out of them. I still cringe when I think about how that phone call and the eight hour drive back to see how bad the damage was would have gone.
