Stolen R

[Amm5890]

I have a thread with a bunch of theft deterrents. Clubs, faraday pouch, OBD blocker, and kill switch (any is better than none), etc. If you street park, you must layer some security. I also remove my shifter stalk as I have a aftermarket shifter.

There’s been a handful of attempts on my car this summer alone. They pop my door lock, and then try to program a key through the OBD port. They’ve been unsuccessful so far.

I also got a cheap wifi video doorbell camera that rings my phone with a critical notification when it detects a person. That’s what happened last time and I was able to chase them away. Dumb idea, as they could also be armed, but it hasn’t happened since.

Good Lord man, multiple attempts? Where do you live that it's that bad? Again, I know most people can't afford to just up and move, but if your car almost gets stolen that much, the area can't be safe either, no?

Nice neighborhoods are not safe either, unless maybe they’re gated. These dudes spread out and scour around, stealing whatever they can that’s in sight.

Around bad areas yes. My part of town, not a one reported stolen.

Yeah, I think if you're in a city or a metropolitan area that has nice parts and bad parts, that the likely hood of crime is higher in general. I just know if I had someone try to break into my car more than once id seriously consider a major change.

Yep. Of course, it really depends on the city and one’s proximity to sketchy areas.
