but if you don't have one then anything you put outside is at risk of being stolen at one time or another.

Hire someone to watch your car 24/7? lol um.... make holes in the car cover and lock it to the car with locks and chains? ummm... let's see... i'm getting more stupid by the moment. Use crazy glue to hold the cover? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG] I'm really really bored... flame flame flame!

Actually, they make a little alarm for car covers... That way it goes off if someone tries to steal it. It's kind of cheap, and easy to get around, but most people don't expect it. It looks like those portable hotel room alarms.

I have seen some covers that have a hole and rope and lock that goes under the car so it is possible to buy those.

I just bought the oem car cover it has some heavy duty rings on the middle of the cover to tie a chain and lock, but i also bought a infrared security camera that was half off at radio shack. Where I live (Newark NJ) vandalism and car theft is frequent so being paranoid is never paranoid enough. In the year i've had my car my fogs have been ripped off, my doors dented/dinged, keyed and someone tried stealing my wheels. I don't have a garage anywhere around me so this is what I have to revert to for security.
