Get a tracking device (if your car is worth it) and put some bullet holes in these suckers. I can believe know one has caught these *******s.

Throw a boot on the wheel.

it wont completely stop 'em just slow 'em down and give you chance to catch them.

I agree with you Wicked.

If they want it, they will get it, your best bet is to make it easy so they wont tear it up and install a GPS tracking device so you can get it back.

Yep, Scott, Agreed!! I am installing a Clifford along with Mercury level switches, and a proximity sensor as well. Plus, I am now going to add a GPS. I am not adding LoJack, it is expensive, and I hear not always accurate.

here in Houston i have tried every possible way to prevent ppl from stealing the hondas i work on 100% of the cars i've done things to have not been stolen. attempts yes but not stolen. the gps thing is just something i would do on my own car, i sat for a very long time thinking of how cars are stolen. there are barely any tow truckers that would steal your car for cash though

Shoot them.
