Angry Someone tried to jack my dads vehicle

I was watching tv in my room and heard my dads alarm go off. I jumped up for some reason and saw a young mexican guy running across the yard from my dads suburban. I yelled to my dad and we all went running outside. When we got out there they were down the street at the co de sack making a u turn coming back towards us. As they passed I pointed at them and let them know I saw them but could not read license plate.
They passed my civic to my dads suburban. I am worried about my car now and wondering should i go back to stock?

give me some beer and i will sit outside and protect your car. I will also hold a party to ward off potential invaders because of the huge crowd. I will also stand naked to scare them off......

Ok really, if they want it, they want it. Just make sure you have all receipts for parts and services that you have purchased. If your car is stolen, it happens to lots if people and its sad to say, there isnt to much you can do. Use insurance money to buy a new car and go at it again. But dont fret about it constantly, live normally, and if you do catch them again try your best to get their plate

Like it really freaked me out I wish I would have drove after him man. I told my parents we should get a gun. I am sure I can make it hard as hell for them. I wonder does a thief strike twice in the same spot? They saw that we saw them.

Dumbasses had their vehicle facing the co de sack so they had to drive by us

my guess is that between the alarm going off, them heading the wrong way, and you seeing them pretty good. I doubt they will be back. Just make sure your alarm is armed and everything is locked up, and if possible try to park everything in your driveway .

I do have an alarmand it is annoying loud. I have a kill switch that is separate from the alarm. My kill switch is made to where it cuts off fuel so the car wont be able to start.

if it is out side your house, add some sensor lights. I have to admit i have done some shady stuff to get money, if i i would have some serious problems. But i can tell you lights scare the **** out of me, i am always scared of being seen, but without lights, it is so easy to take your time and not worry about anything. install some sensor lights high atop your house so they cant be tampered with. Add maybe 2 and that i would think would be sufficient for lighting. Kill switches are easy usually very easy to find unless you make it passive device integrated into another part of the car. Possibly hook your car alarm up to one of those louder horns, 108 130 db or whatever it is. that is all i can think of right now besides the usual second battery and horns, you can get a lock for the hood so they cant even open it to cut battery or alarm, they cost about $30-60 and require a key similar to a bike lock. If its a pro trying to get your car, that is easy as hell to get past. Removable steering wheel, always turn your wheels all the way to the side to make harder to tow, etc etc..i will think of more things later

New area doesnt matter, lots of the poorer families are moving out of los angles and moving to the inland empire, thats why there has been increases in crime from san bernadino all the way up to temecula

What if they had a gun? What if tryin to follow them I get in a accident? Thats just not a realistic thing to do. I did call the police and the police have been coming through my area checking alot now.
