Hmmm.. shouldn't you already be checking your car over b4 you start off first? Thats what ya learn from the Driving school, Check over your vehicle before your trip.

Other than that... good heads up for this tip..

If there is a paper on my rear window I would have seen it before I even got into my car.

i usually enter my car from the rear and look around pretty good for door dings, etc... thanks for the reminder though, i'll keep that in mind. you can never be too sure these days!

You can't trust NOBODY these days! I live in a ZERO crime little **** nothing town too......but I'm a paranoid ****!! There isn't one time I don't lock my doors on my car or on my house. My **** is just to valuable to me to lose ANY of it.

Crime happens everywhere. Especially when you don't expect it!


Thanks for the heads up slick!

i was kidding of course. i hate people that feel like the best way to get back at somebody is keying their car or some sh*t like that. i also really believe in what goes around comes around. so if you steal sh*t, than your sh*t will get stolen. plus im a ***** and would never be able to steal something

damn, i don't care even if it's a repost...

it's a damn good repost anyway..

a good heads up!!

anyway, anybody know about a remote system which can disable your running car?? hahahaha...

it's a good idea to install something like that into ur car...

press the button, beep, the car's engine system is now dead...

just open the door and kick the thief's butt...

i guess u should carry that remote into ur pocket...not on ur keychain..

how about a very small and tiny gps node that u install in the bottom of ur car...
if something happened, u can track it with ur computer...with provided software and super-unique code for ur car....anywhere in the continent of usa, canada...mexico....

damn, think about this...u got the car's position.... go to that place with ur friend...with spare key....take the car away....and leave a piece of note saying, "F**K U!"

damn! that's cool! (kinda stupid though...)

there is a small gps thing you put in your car. there was a thread about it. if you want it you have to call this company and they send a guy to put the gps thing in your car, and you cant look at your car when hes installing it because your not supposed to know where the gps thing is. so if your car gets jacked, the cops can trace the gps, but not all cops are equiped with the tracing device. im sure somebody knows more about it than i do and will tell you more.

muwauahuahhaha, so cool indeed..

ah crap, wonder if it's working with the gps node that u can but from computer store...u know, the one for traveling..

im pretty sure that if it was big enough to be obstructing my view, i would see it as i walked up to my car from any angle

 
Rep Power: 301

where would these thief's be hiding? I am pretty surei would notice because they would have to be pretty close in order to be able to jump in the car in the timeframe of like 10 seconds that you are removing the paper.
