Recently, name escapes me right now, I saw a device that can give you live online reports of your vehicle's location. Another device simply builds up data and when in range of a cell tower, makes a call and delivers that data to the home base. I'd personally go with a fuel cut off device. Wheel locks are only to easy to bypass. What people don't realize about "The club" is, it may be hacksaw proof, but the wheel isn't. Cut the wheel on either side of the club, slip it out and away you go. Or, simply replace the steering wheel. -- I learned my lesson well.

The best anti-theft device is to drive a beater. You won't do that cuz you're an inferior weakling who needs status symbols to throw in the face of your idiot neighbors. You're a stupid insect. |
