Just disconnect some vital part (electrical) in the engine compartment. Thieves don’t want to spend time trouble shooting what’s wrong. My gramps told me that when he was a kid living in NYC.
Yep. When I borrowed a friend’s F-350 once about 30 years ago to pull a trailer, he had me pop the fuse panel and remove two fuses each night. Said they could tow it, but can’t drive it away. I think it was a started solenoid and fuel injection.
Can’t remember.
Buy stick shift cars - they say hoodlums don’t know how to shift them and bail out when they discover it. I don’t even know if they make them anymore!
Can’t car thieves just remove the bollards..they look heavy but the owner must have to remove and replace them daily unless they’re like me and only drive their car once a week.
You can tell I don’t know anything about them except what I see in pictures by googling...
AND besides - aren’t Canadian owners supposed to leave the keys to their cars on the porch to make it easier on the thugs??
Well, in the old days, you just removed the rotor from the distributor. Or simpler, the wire running into the distributor. But now cars don’t have distributors. Not nearly as easy as it was before the government regulations got out of hand.
