Just take the motor with you when you leave your car. Like those expensive car radios back in the early 2000s.

It's so satisfying that the thief went through so much effort tearing apart the car only to have to give up.

As someone with a car in which you can push the driver side window down with your hands (and no interest in fixing it), this video was still a fun watch.

Best solutions are for Anti-Theft is: Add a immobilizer / hidden kill switch. And for tracking: Buy a cheap smartphone, buy the cheapest 5g internet plan, add a tracker app to the phone, hide it under a panels with a permanent charger attached to it. The tracking should last until the car battery drains + 5~10days from the phone battery in standby mode. A alternative is hide a apple airtag on the car. Its not as precise as a smartphone with GPS but last ~1 year before you have to change the battery. You can also use both options for redundancy.

Best thing to do is a 1-2$ switch hidden on your fuel pump power wire

If there is ever a part 2, we need Lock Picking Lawyer on it! I'd love to see what vulnerabilities he would find. Richard still did great as he noted the weak points actual thieves would attack. Lock Picking Lawyer will show us how unsecure these products really are. I have a feeling that the lock cylinders on most of these products can be raked or bumped.

What I like about The Club style devices is they fulfill the idea that: 'Your car doesn't have to be IMPOSSIBLE to steal, just HARDER to steal than the OTHER GUY'S car.' (And the club fufills that because it can be seen by potential thieves.) Just like how a thief will walk around trying door handles until they find an unlocked car, and THAT is the one that'll get ransacked (or slept/pissed in, etc).

The ol' school method is a few kill-switches. My uncle has an old Ford pickup that they built into a rock crawler. The kill-switches prevented it from being stolen a long time ago. I know there are 3 on the truck. 2 are accessible by the driver or passenger, and 1 is accessible outside in case of emergency. It also has a weird ignition system so the thieves just stole his radio and his emergency gear from behind his seat. Good ol' truck. My uncle still has the ol' beast. It doesn't run anymore; but it is a cool yard ornament.

From my experience a simple hidden switch that you have to click before starting works amazing. Hide it in reach of the driver seat but not in eye sight. Say under the seat or in the ceiling of a pocket cubby in the dash. IMO momentary switch work best that you hold when starting as a toggle you have to remember to toggle off when you leave the car. For tracking we always used apple airtags but remove the speaker first. Worst case the thief gets a notice on their iphone "AirTag found moving with you" but they wont be able to make it beep so they cant find it to remove it without spending hours. Hiding it well is important, I say hide it under the carpet or epoxy it somewhere under the car and paint it so you cant tell.

You have the best theft deterrent walking around behind you. We kind need a spotlight of the dogs of Donut. It would be nice to be up to speed on the crew’s pet life!

When I lived in California in 2008 and car thefts went up, my father heard a story about Ravelco and had it installed on all three of our cars. The way it is installed ties it into all of the electronics of the engine, and they tape over it. Unless you know the wires used, it is really difficult to remove. They wrap all the wires together to make it even more difficult.
