Use the alarm, add an aftermarket alarm with back up battery, use a steering wheel lock, use a car cover.

Park in the garage at night.

Don't put in a high powered stereo that you don't turn the volumn down before enter a neighbor hood or mall parking lot.

Don't put fancy wings, 17"+ wheels, funky wing spoilers or standout fast and furious paint schemes on your car.

You can't.&nbsp You can DETER your car from being stolen, but there is no way you can prevent your car from being hooked-up to a tow truck or getting a gun stuck in your face...

I have a relay wired in to the 80A main fuse in the engine bay, and I ran the wires for my switch through the firewall and mounted it next to the front drivers side speaker(completely out of sight). The only bad thing is that I have to let my turbo timer turn off the car before I hit it.

how would you go about doing that.....it sounds like a good idea, and i would like to have some sort of kill switch so incase they do break in they cant get the car....can you explain how you did that a little more...
that would be great

are you killing the output of the 80A main fuse with a relay???

If so where did you find a relay rated that high

I found a 100A relay lying in the spare parts bin at my friends shop(he owns a full service automotive garage). he said that it probably came from CarQuest, who is their main supplier

Just set a spare magazine(gun) on your dashboard with a note stating "The other magazine is in my left pocket.....guess what's in my right!!!"
