His was an automatic. As is mine. Chargers don’t come in manual.

I live in Sarasota, florida. Furthest thing from a shit hole. I don’t live in some podunk town.
Can’t be me, I live in a shithole city bud.
Bummer….
Car is sentimental yes. I merely listed what’s common knowledge on any YouTube video you’ll ever look up. In the hellcat forum there is a thread for stolen hellcats alone. Sure it could be said I bought a car knowing it can be stolen, and is pretty sought after in the thief community. I’ve taken as many precautions I could to prevent it. I can’t vouch for my buddy since he didn’t have the stuff I had. However even with what I have, they don’t need it anymore. They make their own keys on the spot. I’m looking into kill switches and things of that nature. I’m just trying to get some others insight if they were in my situation. Would they let it go, and cash out. Or would they hunker down and enjoy the car. As stated before if it gets stolen it will be a pay out regardless. To be clear my ladyfirend will be the one devastated. This was her dream car, I just helped get it for her so we can enjoy it.
I get it. Just make sure you stay on top of those insurance payments.
I pay 6 months in advance, it’s cheaper that way anyways. However I’ll keep that in mind my friend.
Where does the Shelby stay?
And yet.... you worry about your stuff being stolen by morally corrupt people in your neighborhood. You might have a nice house surrounded by trash people, and you all live in the same shit hole, some live in nice houses.
What you need is a good Karen. When we moved into our house we had a Karen across the street. We didn't talk for years. Now we're all the time helping their old asses do the simpliest of shit. Karen aka Janet is always outside smoking...a retired Nurse. She keeps dibs on EVERYTHING. We went home to Florida one year and my new yard guy came by and she was hot on his ass. Like Karen....if anything he is stealing leaves...let him. Holy Hell a Nightmare.
I went out to our impound lot just to see if, or how many, Hellcats were recovered from the night before, and/or early today, because it’s such a common occurrence. Sure enough, right there in the initial holding area I observed the following:
On 1 of my old sport bikes i traced out the trigger wire going to the starter and added a flush mount toggle switch in it that was hidden and wouldn't let it start, I had about 8$ for a switch. I guess where I'm going with this is it dosen't cost a lot of money to make something inoperable. I don't think most thieves are going to waste time trying to troubleshoot why you get a no start but could waste the time tearing your vehicle up afterwards, maybe not what you want to hear but my 2 cents.
I appreciate the input, and actually adding something to it. I’ve got similar stuff on my sport bikes as well.
Stupid reply, and you live in paradise cheesehead? Ever think these people stealing may come into the nicer areas looking for shit to boost, or is that above your comprehensive level?
GTA isn’t Even a felony in CO. Let that one sink it.

Correct.I believe Brady (@Bdubbs) parks his cars in his new garage, which is not on his home property. It's only a minor inconvenience if you don't drive the Hellcat every day. It's an option to consider. Of course, be sure any garage you use has sufficient security to protect it from thieves. Sucks that we have to worry so much about thugs stealing what we work hard to own. Their philosophy.....why work when you can steal what you need.
Our shop is about 1.4 miles from our house. I took the best measures in security that helps me sleep better at night.
We have two hardwired cameras and motion sensors inside the shop. We also have an alarm system. So someone can break in pretty easy, but the alarm will sound and notify the sheriff's department.
I have security stickers on a couple windows. The one thing I really would like to replace is the service door. I don't like that it has a window on it. Someone could break it, then open the door from the inside.

I've lived in several states in towns around 120K people. I'v been careful and intentional where I have chosen to raise my family. I haven't locked my cars or my doors in 25 years.
