Someone Tried To Steal My Baby

Someone (who's Mother Should Die For Giving Birth To Them) Tried To Steal My Car Out In Long Island. They Pried Off The Molding On My Passenger Door And My Alarm Went Off. I Noticed It When I Went To Get In My Car And My Alam Beeped 4 Times. This Means It Went Off. So I Figured That It Was Somone With A System. Then My Boy Goes To Get In And Hes Like "someone Was Fuking With Ur Car" So I Look And My Molding Is All Pried Up. Thank God I Got That Alarm.

You know...I've been broken into twice (with my beaters)...Both times I didn't have an alarm...You know what I do right after I get broken into both times? Get an alarm and it never went off...The day I got the FD home the next day it went in to have the alarm put in....It now stays in my garage with the alarm on and the auto tazer club on there

Oooohhh!!
What's a tazer club? Is that legal? Nothing makes me happier than to inflicting pain upon those pieces of ****.
I'm thinking that my fist is getting a little out dated...........I need an upgrade.
Where can I get one?

OOh ! yeah lets get a group buy on tazer clubs... Than everyone will know not to try to break into the 7's or they'll get tazer club'd. Once someone gets tazer club'd the word will get around fast. So they'll just steal the supras.

Damn man...that was close. I'm glad nothing else happened. Could always be worse, right??

Not to capitalize on your loss...but I have a pair of moldings (driver & passenger) for an FD if you're interested (I take it you mean the molding that sits between the door skin and where the window rolls up from).

just get in on the tazer club group buy and you can park your car in the middle of the NJ hood on a dark night where the police are on strike (like in AC) and the 7 will still be fine. there will be thugs lying on the ground surrounding your car. and there will be some driving supras.

Good thing you weren't around to see it happen.... my brothers friend was shot dead for trying to interfere. Alarms can be annoying but when they do their job there's nothun' better!

For some reason I doubt there's actually a group buy on the tazers.
Just call it a hunch.........

Today I still haven't heard my fd alarm!! I bought my car from a damaged car auction for about $AU20gs. The car was stolen and recovered, with the driver side window broken the ignition was all f$%ed. Also the engine blew weeks after i bought it! GOD DAMMIT! It's all good now but. There must be some sort of tracking device over there in the states. Here in oz, there's a tracker you put somewhere in your car (i think the piggy backed on the computer) depends how shifty you are! Also there's a monthly fee you have to pay , about $30AU. Soon as you report the car stolen, the secuirty company tracks the car and turns off all electrical and engine components, not bad huh! My mate has this on his 97 S14 and I'm thinking about getting this because I don't have full insurance because of my age!

Ripzta, in the US, we have something called Lo-Jack, which has motion sensors and what not. If the motion sensors go off (meaning the car is driven, pushed, towed, whatever) w/o the transponder being w/ the car, the transponder lets the owner know the car has been moved. If it's not authorized movement of your vehicle, you call the cops, tell them to activate the signal (from a transponder hidden in your car) and the cops follow the signal directly. So far, Lo-Jack has had a 100% success rate in retrieving stolen cars (or so they say).

The other option is to get a GPS-linked security system like the Clifford Matrix I believe it is. You can lock the doors, roll up the windows, and even kill the engine, all remotely. You can obviously locate the car as well. Only prob is, GPS depends on the terrain, while the Lo-Jack uses radio waves which I believe can reach even through concrete...

The scary part of Lo-Jack for me is when who decides to turn it "on" and turn it "off." Who's to say when the gov. or devious person wants to follow you or take your car by just turning it "on." Scary.....

Only Lo-Jack employees can activate the system, and supposedly only the cops have the equipment necessary and the frequency to track it. Ever seen one of those unmarked Crown Vics w/ like 4 or 5 huge antennas on the trunk? That's the Lo-Jack tracking cruiser...

If you're worried about the govt, LOL...don't lose sleep over it. They have much more intricate ways to track you. In fact, the govt. can literally jump from satellite to satellite, putting your every move in INCREDIBLE detail on a wide screen TV. Oh and about a year or two ago, the govt. instituted a software on your cell that can be remotely activated to triangulate your position, whether your phone is on or off, whether you have service or not, etc...it got VERY little attention in the media (as does all forms of government spying techniques) and was under the guise of to aid you if you needed emergent medical or police attention. You'd be surprised what the govt. can actually do...
