Prevent people from breaking into my car?


Exodus

Recommended Posts

Any ideas? I live just north of campus near Clintonville and my car has been broken into at least 6 times in the past few months. I don't keep anything of value on my car but im just tired of dealing with it. If moving were an option I would but its not at the moment. Should I get a wireless alert system or maybe some dummy security cameras? What has worked for you guys in the past?

On campus I never locked my first beater and my 2nd one I kept tools in and always locked it and it had a flashing security light. I'm not going to say it made a difference but my roommates truck would get broken into and mine wouldn't while parked next to each other.

Leave it unlocked?

 

Put a sign in your car that says nothings in there, the last guy already took it all.

 

+1000

 

When I first moved here, my car would get broken into every week. I got tired of fixing it so I just leave it unlock and nothing valuable inside, that solved my problem.

+1001 on leaving it unlocked.

 

Ditch the dummy camera ideas. Right up there with pulling a fake gun on someone.

 

Instead:

^^ Do it. Easy to find Poisen Ivy this time of year too. I've done this and it's excellent at dishing out payback and makes spotting the thieves, if you suspect them, pretty easy too :gabe:

 

Cheap Blender $10-$30

Chemical gloves $8

Safety Glasses $5

Paint filters $5

Bucket $3

Spray bottle $1

Old duffel bag

Misc. goodies for thieves

 

Round up an old duffel bag and several items you think they will rummage through including coins, pill bottles, even a few dollar bills, CD's or cheap movies in their Cases, etc.... Don't put too much in it as you want them to take the whole thing.

 

Put 1-2 coats of the spray on the items and place them in the bag and put the bag on your back seat, leave the doors unlocked.

 

They will more than likely snatch your back and all it's contents. Wait 2-3 days and see if anyone has their hands in bandages. :gabe:

 

Pure Evil and very effective.

crack heads breaking into cars aren't that smart as to put the two together.

Fake.

 

Poisen ivy does not do that to you. Maybe a little redness or dryness, but nothing like whats pictured.

Camp out in the bushes.

Wait until someone breaks into your car.

beat them to death, slowly, with an aluminum baseball bat.

Dispose of body by cooking human chili ans sending it to the deceased's family as a care-package, for you are so "sorry" for there loss....
