Just pull out the engine before leaving the car, if they dont have the engine how are they gonna start the car, Think smart!

Just make sure you don't keep the engine next to the front door inside your house. Hide the engine under your bed or in your pillow.

[@akapandeo]

@@dudesons420 it won't prevent smashing windows but the vehicle won't be stolen , example: they need quick access to the mouth of the paddle/steering lock etc hence the contraption. Basic aim is to make it cumbersome for the theif so he/she moves to an easier target. There is no way of preventing a vehicle theft if there is leisure of time, access to power tools, for all I know it cld be loaded into a huge truck.

I went to investigate as I knew exactly what that noise was (most likely) and noticed a getaway car just idling at a stoplight while someone else was in a parked vehicle in a driveway. I called the police and was able to thwart a vehicle theft because I had the exact same thing done to me. Knowledge is power. Please use it wisely!

Put a fake kill switch under the steering column and hook up the fake kill switch to honk the horn and turn interior light on unless the real kill switch is on. Bonus points for making a transistor circuit that keeps the horn and lights on even when the switch is off. Also the real kill switch would be a 3 way that can disable it :)

Very cool explanations. What caught my eye was the graph showing how car thefts had been declining through the 1990's and 2000, then was a bit of an upsurge in the next 3 years, coincidentally, Gone in 60 Seconds came out in late 2000, and Fast & Furious in 2001 :D Then they started to continue to downward trend until 2014, when Need for Speed was released.

[@jiakabery3550]

The thing with the kill switch is you need to use your imagination. I've owned multiple cars with kill switches. Every Killswitch was in a different place. Every Killswitch was of a different style. They're suppose to be hidden. Basically find a place in your car to hide a switch. A place that you will be able to reach and find easily but no one else will. And then just like you said you wire it in to your ignition. Blamo done. An install video would show him cut one wire strip the ends, wire in a switch and then tell you to hide the switch.

David Stacy did one on that. You can also do a simple fuse install which will kill power to the starter when fuse is removed. Installing fuse in an inconspicuous spot will guarantee no theft unless tow truck is used. In which case you shouldn't be driving your sic ride in the hood to begin with.

There are many things you missed about how car thieves steal cars. Especially on the older vehicles and the stearing lock. On older vehicles you do not have to use the wires to start the vehicle. I'm a former car thief who helps people secure their property. Got to give props for you recommending a kill switch. I think that is the best way to avoid your vehicle being stolen. Great video brother.

[@joeblow26]

Thieves can also use a signal jammer so when you click to lock your car while walking away they can jam the signal and your car doesn't lock even though you think you locked it. So you should always press your lock button numerous times while walking away.

[@walden6272]

[@NotEvenDeathCanSaveU]

The best way to protect your car overally cheaply based on my fathers recommendation who works in a company developing and rating car security systems: 1. A cheap kills switch installment 2. Independent alarm installment 3. Cheap GPS installment Everything explained below: 1. The most important: a kill switch.. Super cheap installment of a standard electrical switch with cables, the switch will cut power to either ignition or battery power or the best option imo a power that goes to a fuel pump, however its very important to perfectly hide this switch where it cant be easily seen, only reached with finger/s.. This is a must have especially for keyless entry cars but works perfectly on any other car as thieves will either have to find the switch what you should make impossible by hiding it perfectly or by disassembling the floor looking for the additional connections, yeah... neither one of these is going to happen, thieves are usually in a hurry, they dont want to get caught.. 2. A independent car alarm.. A bit more pricey like few hundred of dollars max but worth it.. The type of alarm that when silently triggered upong car entry you have 10/20 seconds to disarm it by for example an RFID chip that you normally carry on your keyring or w/e, and if you fail to disarm it within the time, the alarm goes off honking or even powering up a siren if you additionally buy one.. The best thing is going to be the independence, as thieves might think they got inside the car the legit way, the independent car alarm wont actually give a f*ck thus making a lot of noise bringing attention to thieves what will make them run for sure.. 3. Cheap GPS module that use GPS and GSM to communicate, perfectly hidden inside the car, (make it as hard to get to as possible, powering it on 12V in your car).. These normally communicate withing SMS about more than just their GPS location, some can even send info like when the car was started.. More expensive ones can even communicate thru the internet data so you can check where your car is any time with your smartphone.. Its recommended to have more of these cheap ones as when thieves would find one, they might think theres no more, however we should assume they wont find any as you should make it as hard to get to as possible, they wont have time to strip the whole car looking for these devices.. To best protect from any regular car thief there is out there, just install all of these 3 things mentioned above and their chances of stealing your car will drop almost to zero.. Just note that none of these might help against professional car thieves..If they cant find the switch or start the car they might just return later towing your car away, if they notice independent car alarm they might just pop the hood and kill your honkers and siren in like 10 seconds.. If they think that there are GPS modules in your car they might use GSM blocking devices or devices that point out the GSM traffic thus easily finding these modules... You wont have a chance if professional car thieves target your car, however chances that they will are insanely low as this kind of people usually target the most expensive super cars for example.. Well thats it.. I hope this helps someone.. Have a nice day and please upvote so more people can effectively protect their cars

[@Curiousnessify]

why does it have to be cheap

[@NotEvenDeathCanSaveU]

@@Curiousnessify It doesnt but high quality alarm system with gps is just as effective as cheap alarm + gps which you can install yourself..Common people with slight paranoia usually go for cheap gps and killswitch at the very least, that means if you hide the switch very well, they ll have to both tow the car while actively block the gsm signals to succesfuly steal it meaning just the common thieves like for example relay thieves wont have a chance

[@NotEvenDeathCanSaveU]

@Blue Panther Gaming You certainly dont live in america then.. Restricted area? Did you see how most houses look in the US? Theres just a driveway, actual fences at property are less common than in the europe, I dont really live there, I was there a couple of times, esp in CA as on vacation but yeah, restricted.... I have no idea what you mean, Another thing with refueling, no one says the thieves will travel that far to target someones keyless car, they ll go just far enough where 20% of tank will be enough to get it into place and dismantle it to the last bolt.. All you need is a basic woodshack into which you hide the car, then they usually leave the GSM blocking device on and on charger just to be sure if there was some GPS installed in the car.. If you do some research on these car thieves, all this stuff I am mentioning here will sound pretty familiar to you, its pretty basic stuff imo

[@jldude84]

I prefer to wire the killswitch to an incindiery device as well so if they try to start it without the switch flipped the doors lock and the car blows up and takes care of the theif.

[@crosslink1493]

Back in the 1980s I put kill switches on both my old VWs. They got broken into but never stolen. Chipped keys are the best to thwart thieves, better yet a chipped key with a manual transmission. Also with the keyless entry: thieves can sit in parking lots with scanners and pick up the signal from a nearby car when the driver parks and leaves to go into the building. That makes the scanner the 'keyless entry' device and the thief simply walks up, unlocks the car, and drives away.

@@danielkondra107, Doesn't the dealer require what to be there? I was there with my ID and a receipt from Copart. I didn't have the title (title was pending, I got it about 3 weeks later) I also had the car with me, on the trailer, but that was because I just picked it up from the auction and wanted a key to get it back home (the trailer was a UHaul, I needed the key so that I could at least unlock the steering wheel and get the trans out of park, but the car did start so I drove it off the trailer. But I needed it off the trailer so I could turn the UHaul back in) At any rate, even though I had the car with me, they didn't know, they didn't ask nor did they look out in the parking lot to see if I had it. I just went outside and put the key in the ignition and it started, so I was happy.

Having been in the life as a youngster (eventually did time), if I really wanted your car, I'd have it. Wether I busted your ignition, or Ran Up on you with a thing in my hand. No way out. To be honest, one of the best methods to prevent your car being stolen is an alarm system. 9/10 times we won't touch your car of we see the blinking alarm system. No one wants to do time for a Honda civic.

In addition to the kill switch. Install a push button that looks like a racecar start button,but wire it to the horn. Install just under the steering column like you are trying to hide it.

[@JugglesGrenades]

Install a switch that shuts off power to the fuel pump. If you really want to get sneaky, use one of the switches on the dash.( For example, the airbag on/off for passenger seat)

[@Highway94]

I have a 1995 honda civic ex and after it was stolen twice ( should've learned my lesson I know ) I decided to write a note on my window saying " Take it again and your ASS will pay for it " So I placed needles facing upward on the car seat. probably about 25 something of them. I left another note on the ceiling saying " I told you " and it worked out because I approached my car one time several days after only to find the door unlocked, some blood on the pavement and a small dent on my ceiling. I'm assuming my plan worked and once he sat down he/she jumped in pain, hit the ceiling and bled outside.

Better idea, Pipe with a spring in it and a metal spike with a latch/trigger mechanism under the seat. "cock" the metal spring/spike and have the trigger spring connected to a servo or something thats wired to ignition fuse. Make sure to have a on/off switch wired inline. But if its on and someone tries to take the car they get a nice metal spike right up through the seat into their ass!. Seat=cheaper than new car

[@potardo9851]

[@LostBoy1026]

Great video brother. I knew the way to secure the older vehicles with the switch but I had no idea about how thieves were stealing newer vehicles. I grew up in projects housing in south Florida and people would steal or try and steal our rides all the time in the 80's and early 90's that didn't have the chip in the key. So we always had alarms on our rides not just to keep car thieves from stealing our ride but so crackheads would most of the time be scared off from breaking in and ripping our stereo systems. By the way I appreciate all your other videos. I've been rebuilding old rides my whole life and finally went to school and got a degree in automotive engineering, rebuild, transmission rebuild, electrical and automotive fundamentals. For me electrical class for newer cars was not my best subject in all the classes so when I have an electrical issue I can't figure out you're the first channel on KZbin I go to. Thanks again for all the help and the videos! When you do read this I do have an electrical issue I'm having with my 92 isuzu pickup 2.3l 5 speed. No one has been about to figure it out and I'd like to know if I let you know the issue could you possibly give me your best opinion or advice or things to test other than all the things I've tested already. I'll just let you know now it's an electrical charging system issue. If you have the time at some point if you read this could you either respond on here that you can try to help with some advice or possibly email me and I'll email you the issue and what I've tested already. It has me and a lot of people confused on what it could be. Thank you. And if you don't have time I'll understand. But if you can help and think it's a good subject to do a video on after I let you know the issue and can help figure it out that would be great. I'm hoping it's something simple lol. Ok thanks again. I'm not sure if my email is on here or not or if I'm allowed to post it on here or not? Sorry for the long post. Hope you get around to reading it. Have a great weekend.

Good info. I had a car stolen exactly as described in method 1, they used a big screwdriver to punch out the door lock, then same again to smash the steering lock and ignition. I saw the thieves later in town but could not prove it was them. I then got one of those through the steering wheel bars, a pain to put on but better than having another car smashed up. That method 3 looks like poo, a fob always emitting RF!? stoopid.
