Anti-theft devices

What do you use as a theft-deterrent?

 

[dlacey]

Inka paint works for me.... impossible to hide.

Manual transmission.

[bavariaboy]

Second manual transmission. Even my 40 year old son-in-law police officer can't drive stick.

 

Whoa!Wait a minute! Lilli, my 76 2002 is automatic. time for a kill switch.

 

And I keep my trunk locked. There are still a few people around who know it is push button.

Nothing, I often just leave it running when I hop into the Kwiki mart for a six pack. I do turn off the lights though.

Being a city type, and having suffered a nasty break-in, my 02’s now equipped with an Alpine remote alarm system. It’s features include door/hood/trunk sensors, dual-stage impact sensors, and dual-sector (interior/exterior) radar motion detection, with starter disable. 

I also run a removable steering wheel and a detachable headunit faceplate…

 

Worth it to me given the car’s an attention magnet and I like driving it downtown and street parking…

GPS Tracker 
Additionally I have a Battery kill switch an my Fuel Pumps are switchable (but solely for their purpose not explicitly as an anti theft device).
Btw I have an 80's Bosch Car alarm for sale (in europe)

Nothing on the 02 as yet but on my sons Golf is a GPS tracker with remote immobilisation via his phone (and mine 😉).

Actually I notice the kids at the car wash can't even open the doors....the concept of having to manipulate a button with the thumb is completely foreign...they just pull on the big chrome handle.

123 wifi distributor.  Kill switch on my phone.

I never leave my Baur parked up... 

99% of the time when i drive it, it emerges from a locked garage, where it has a wheel clamp and steering lock.
And goes back into same garage after the drive. If i ever do park it in the street... i'm a bag-of-nerves wanting to get back to it asap! 

I don't see my Baur when i park it, i see a car worth more than its value in NLA spare parts... sad, but true!
