The Ultimate Theft Proof Car

hmmm.. lets see.
I guess you could life someone's thumb print, or steal their key signal (which can be done lately)

Get a signal jammer (to block GPS and radio) take it to the closest chop shop and go to town with it.

You could always keep a cougar in the back seat.

I think you'll find once you put a cougar in the back seat, she's VERY hard to get out of there - it usually takes offers of diamonds or her own car.

Trunk monkey!

I thought number 7 was the simplest, best option.

,...then again, having Seven of Nine assimilate the thief into the Borg Collective is an alternative too!

Why lift a thumb print when you can take their thumb and their keys. I never want to have my car started by my fingerprint, I want to use something easily detachable and reatachable to my pocket.

This seems appropriate:

Step 1: Disconnect battery and tow vehicle
Step 2: Strip car for parts
Step 3: Profit!

I like the trunk monkey idea, though, that's bril.

Re: Trunk Monkey - these cartoons get a LOT of circulation around the department... hereEnter text here.'s one of the standing favorites...

Diamonds?

No, THIS is the Ultimate in anti theft technology.

Puh-leeze. This is far superior.

Wrong kind of cougar:

But if you lose your keys, you will have to break out the window to get her out of the car.

I would hope with all the thought about how to keep the car safe, they wouldn't just make it an easy to pop hood to disconnect the battery.

That's a kitten.

This is a cougar.

Look at that list of most commonly stolen cars, there is a reason they are old and only not top end. The fact is some of those anti-theft measures probably cost more than the car you are protecting.

So what does the owner of the fancy anti-theft car in the OP do when he wants to have it valeted?

All of this stuff is unecessary... really the passive immobilizer within the ECU itself is all you need to keep most theives away. Fingerprint scanners are idiotic... I hate all this stupid biometrics stuff, and all the other security features can be defeated by one thing:

Thieves who REALLY want your car are going to just flatbed tow the damn thing when it's vulnerable. How are you going to stop that? Bolt your car to the floor?

Honestly? They can't even seem to get power windows to work consistently yet, I'm not trusting a computer system with everything else in my car.

Besides, what if Jeff Goldblum and Will Smith give it a virus?
