How to prevent car break-ins?

use a car cover.

use a car cover.

Honestly, will just attract more attention to the car. It'll make it harder to get off without setting off the alarm but honestly doesn't make it much harder.

it would attract more attention to the car, but who would want to go through the trouble of taking a car cover off when there are 910748913581923 other cars down the street? Idk. If I was going to be stealing stuff out of people's cars, I would go right past a car with a cover. I guess it really all depends though. It's not like you get to meet the thief.

Someone has been watching too much Gone In 60 Seconds.

no thats just what my dad (whose a truck driver) told me

put a snake in your car... no lie though... that's what truck drivers do to make sure no one takes their stuff while they're away from their semis

Wait.. what?

So they let a snake loose in their trucks? What do they do when they have to get back in their trucks and theres a snake on the loose? lol.

That might be a good idea to help prevent it.. But wouldnt it make everything easier if they have already broken into the car?? Nobody would be able to tell or see anything, so wouldnt you be in the clear?

Plus... Its my Daily driver, and its typically windy here in the winter, so when ever I have to put my car cover on, I have to tie it down.. So that would be a bitch to do every day.

In all honesty there really is no %100 way to prevent a break in. If they want it then they'll get it! But there is some good advice given. Only thing I have a problem with is the car cover. Theives will see that and think the car must be very valuble and make it more of a target.

I'd just keep anything worth stealing out of the car. Sounds like they are stealing stuff out of cars, not the cars themselves. Just make sure there's nothing worth taking in there and I think you're good. I doubt they'll risk getting caught breaking into a car that's not going to net them some $$$.

If they really want in you're car, they'll get in it. Really, there's no avioding that. Its only so hard to break a window. Besides that, F-bodies are fairly easy to break into. The windows have so much room to be pulled out, you can easily get a hanger in there and press the unlock button. I have a buddy that only had one set of keys to his car and had it down to an art.

i keep mine in the garage. thats how i prevent break ins... then again we live in a pretty decent gated subdivision

hell the wagon has a GPS unit sitting on the windshield of it and the doors aren't even locked.
