Re: 66 6f hcs has a brilliant idea

Mine's a daily driver. Still, with what I've spent on restoration and modifications , I don't want to give the local punk an easy mark.

Nothing like walking out of the grocery with your arms full and no place to put the stuff except on the ground... or take someone special out to dinner and end up calling a cab for her while spending time filling out theft reports....

I just want something (or more than one) that sends the potential thief after someone else's ride. And preferable something simple. I don't want to have to park next to a light post and haul out an anchor chain and hulking lock like I do with my bike. Just a simple flip of a switch. Add a 9 volt battery connected to a flashing LED and you have psychological deterrence. Toss in a claymore mine wired to the driver's seat, a couple of flashing neon signs and some NRA and militia stickers.

I did see something I thought could be adapted... a small advertising sign with scrolling words that was programmable. Looked kinda like a third brake light. Enter the message

"I just stole this vehicle. Call 911 and report me."

If the car is started without turning of the sign circuit, the message is displayed....... : )
