I am mindful of the M8 greyhound that was recently "stolen to order" and was wondering what owners might do to protect their vehicles.
You can take out the rotor arm, padlock it into reverse, steering lock and then chain the pedals to the steering wheel (which is what i do), but if someone comes along with a hiab that is not going to do a lot of good. I know of one chap who bought an old tractor took it home on a trailer, went in for a coffee and when he came outside the tractor had gone courtesy of a hiab. I know of another chap who took his newly restored Jeep to Normandy, took out the rotor arm and minutes later saw it being driven away. It was not recovered.
There are some dishonest people in this game (very sad to say), so what do we do to protect ourselves against them. I always thought that having a Jeep that no one else was capable of starting (even after they got through the security) would be enough, but now i dont think that is enough.
With Normandy coming up this year you can bet the vultures will be looking for stuff to steal. What can we do to protect ourselves?
