Park it in the street with a sign that says, "steal me."
Any thief would have to think this......

Then lock the doors to your car.

Step 3. Forget that you did that after the car sat in the garage a month and see the front end and both tires sitting on the ground in front of you after you threw it in reverse and backed out without de-chaining it.

I've done something less damaging a few times locking my motorcycle with chains and disc locks. For sure I'd repeat that with my Camaro in chains.

nothing. I don’t care that much, no but in all seriousness I don’t think me doing anything would stop someone from stealing my car if they want it they can have it.

Wow; talk about laying down! Good thing you never had to fight for much especially this country!! Never give in and never give up without a fight!!! Some scumbag wants your stuff you do everything to screw them and fight to the end!! This means making it difficult or near impossible to let them take what they are not simply entitled to . Like the lefts especially.

I agree jellyfish. Yeah maybe his camaro would end up in the hands of someone who would appreciate it. Then they could join the forum lol

Close supervision at all times. My ace cars never go out unsupervised.

Not if you own a V8 Camaro. The V8 manual transmission 5th gen Camaros are the most popular ones to steal. Several a week are stolen in the San Francisco Bay area. But the go after automatics too. Both are just as easy to steal.

Aftermarket ignition conversion to a push button.. it has a dual pass UHF passkey and an RFID proximity passkey in the fob to unlock. It doesn't even have an ignition on the tree anymore, no place to put a key besides the door handle.

All I use is factory system, LoJack, and OnStar along with good insurance. My cars sit outside in my driveway when parked. The most common cars stolen in Florida are imports and pickups. All in all I'm not to worried about it, that's what insurance is for.

It’s true that the gangs steal the best selling cars from Toyota and Honda and trucks and then strip them and sell the parts to body shops. My father in law gave his Chevy stepside to a nephew in Fresno. He didn’t have it long until it was stolen and they pulled the 350 and dumped the truck in a ditch making it practically worthless
