I think having a steel boot on the front left wheel would slow a lot of these joy riders down. Of course, if it's a pro, they might have a tow truck and then it's gone, perhaps to be shipped overseas where paperwork can be forged. Much less likely for such individualized cars.
The catalytic converter thing is crazy. My neighbor had his stolen from a honda. He caught it on camera, it was lie a 1 minute job.
OMG. I do not know why I could not stop laughing at this video! Best part is monkey disposing of body. Thanks for making my tough day
There is a whole series of trunk monkey videos on Youtube.
The whole series is great.
Somebody here had a center muffler cut out of their coupe while in storage. Thieves thought it was a catalytic converter.
We've added some remote battery operated cameras with solar charging to our ten acre yard. Can't cut power to them without a mug shot first. So far they've worked awesome. Cameras are about $220 each but requires a cell service for each one. $10/mo, or something cheap. Our buildings have the typical hard-wired CCTV system so it's a good combination.
Nice, I'm looking for something like that, how do they do on overcast days? Can you view the camera from your browser?
So far all of the cameras have stayed charged, with a few overcast and rainy days. This winter will be the real test. You can use them on a desktop browser but I'm only using them on my phone since I don't view the cameras during work hours very often and it was easy to add the app.
That is great but my paradise is a place where E9s never rust and they can be driven and parked anywhere.
I always remind people when we have conversations like this that the population in CA has doubled in the last 40 years. (Not sure about other states) When you have that many people and keep adding to it we will never have the "relaxed" safe environment of the past.
