Perhaps if this country weren't so lenient with criminals, we wouldn't be having this conversation right now.


Don't worry. You all are not alone. The good ole' U.S. of A. is hot on your heels. We can't punish offenders anymore. Might hurt their feelers, lower the self-esteem, and stunt their social growth. Rolling Eyes

Put an 8 track in it.

This does not deter them from breaking a window to get in the car.
I intentionally installed an 8-track deck.
No matter. They broke my window, yanked out the 8-Track deck, but then probably couldn't figure out what it was, and left it on the seat, and took off.

Locks are for honest people, thieves take what they want, when they want. It's a shame to live in fear of being robbed. You can thank the U.S. lack of justice system for that.

Two weeks ago while on vacation in San Diego, a thief used a bolt cutter and cut the chain securing two bicycles to the back of my truck. One bicycle was Mrs. Cussers, 39 years old with narrow 27" wheels; the other was my 26" wider wheel 10-speed I bought at a rummage sale for $8.

These bicycles had been secured in same way well over 30 trips through the years, never been touched before.

I use The Club and a disconnect on my 1971 VW, and it is garaged.
