Ay thoughts on theft proofing a TR6? I live in Los Angeles and LBC's like to walk away here. Other than never parking it for more than 20 seconds, any ideas appreciated. I have a Club (that covers a

The quickest theft deterrent I know of is to pop open the distributor cap and the rotor in your pocket. A well hidden battery cutoff switch might work, too. Good luck, Chad Stretz 73 TR6

According to my friend who is a cop, a Club will last 10-15 seconds if the thief has a hacksaw, the amount of time it would take to hacksaw the steering wheel and pull the Club. My TR6 has an electri

Pete, I have a similar system in my TR6. I have both an alarm system AND a pager module, both commercially available. The pager is tied in to the alarm system, and I have a hidden switch to shut off

What you need is to mount a deadly gas under the dash that would "go off" when you activate it, thus killing the intruder. The gas would dissipate long before the police arrive. By the time the coron

I have no interest in the company, but there is a product call Sky Alarm 2000. When it detects the car is being stolen (i.e., some motion detector ... etc) it will not only dial 911 but will give an

Another method -- Drive the Chevette and leave the TR in the garage. The quickest theft deterrent I know of is to pop open the distributor cap and put the rotor in your pocket. A well hidden battery

Any serious car thief is going to have a complete substitute ignition system (not just a rotor) with him. Whitney used to sell one for under $200 that would fit in a lunchbox ... Besides, who is goin

Agreed, but I don't have a Chevette. However the removing the D Cap and taking rotor is the ultimate. I suspect that there are very few car thieves the has a spare rotor in their pocket. The battery
