Local Import site target for theives
 
Last night Fox News & Denver Police annonuce that a local car site (Highaltitudeimports.com) may be target for theives. In the last mounth 14 cars and 2 shops have been stolen and broke into. all members and promoters of HAI with an estimated value over $ 250,000.00 cause being from the classified section. Police beleive that the theives are using the classifieds to scope out a good score. This is why when I sell parts local I never let anybody in my garage I always bring the parts into the house and let them meet my dogs PITBULLS as a deterent for coming back when I'm not home and ripping me off. Having 5 Hondas in the family and lots of random parts laying around I know for a fact that I myself have been targeted, but all the cars are kept in garages so that helps and the people who know my dogs would think only once before entering my property when I'm not there. It only takes 1 time to be ripped off like I have to almost make u give up doing what u like so much.
I cant post any links from this comp. but If u want to read or see video go to highaltitudeimports.com in the security sec.

thats a pretty bold statement. its all in the installation, i suggest a battery back up with every unit i sell/install so that even if they get under the hood (which is also triggered) and disconnect the battery, the siren will still blair for a good while.

if you're sleeping a gun isn't going to help

alarms are nothing unless they have a back-up battery

you can do all the security you want but they can still tow it! (for street parkers like myself)

I could leave my car unlocked and running in my driveway all night long if I wanted. Hell I could probably leave the door wide open too. Not only that, I could sign the title and put it in the driver's seat. The only thefts we have here are car audio related. People here will take one look at my car, first it's a honda, second it's not a flashy car, third there's no interior, and the nail in the coffin is that there's no CD player or tape player in it.

Move out of the city if you're worried about people stealing your ----. I live in a town of 30,000 people - most of which are old people.

Theft isn't much of a problem here, small town (~3,000 people) with practically no other performance imports. Just a couple of ricers that I see very rarely.

Get a couple of motion lights and hook them up to an alarm. You might have to get up every now and then for a dog or cat, but worth the hassle.

This is nothing new. On a local car site by me it's a weird coincidence that once peeps show pics of their car it gets stolen a few weeks later.

So many people's cars have been stolen that we have a "stolen car forum". I kid you not.
I want to get out of the honda game while i still can because I don't want a thief to take me out of the game empty handed.

Someone buy my car:

The last car that got stolen off our site, the dumbass who took it drove it out to a meet 2 weeks later. It was painted diff but everyone knew the car. Poor guy got beat almost to death by the owner and his friends.
