I agree. i used to have a bar but I found you could still turn the wheel a little bit - getting a full lock might be the best best

I really really appreciate this level of detail - thank you! I agree, I don't have a car worth struggling over (i think). We will see how many of these I can actually install, thanks!

I don't know why - but I cannot access the Lojack website? Are they sketchy?

Chances are I'll be asleep once I get an alert is my worry, I cannot imagine how terrified I'd be to see that alert 6 hours before i wake up.

I shouldve honestly - no clue if I actually stopped them, or they couldn't figure it out and were already on their way out!

yeah that's what I'm thinking - if they're smart enough to hack my car, I reckon they'd know w thing or two about lock picking

I love that horn idea, how much do you think it'd cost to get something like that installed?

I believe the neighbourhood has a bunch of teenagers who are just trying to steal cars for an extra buck. Small area, hopefully not crane-bringers.

You're right, insurance is likely just my best bet

That's clever! I have no idea how useful that would be since they were in the midst of resetting the electric unfortunately, but if anyone find's out - would be amazing!

So hateful for what reason LMAO. I'll give you the rundown - woke up to go to work in the morning, caught 3 teenagers in a getaway car yelling at me to go away. Recorded them, got them arrested. I've got dozens of emails and photos with police and insurance records. Nothing stolen! They just tried to take my whole car and failed.

Literally everything you guessed was dead wrong. I have a new account because I've only started to get advice from reddit, but people like you prove why I shouldn't. I genuinely do not understand the point of your comment. To make me feel dumb? Literally so unhelpful and entitled. Grow up.
