SUMMARY:
- To protect your keys from these “relay” attacks, use something metallic since metal blocks signals.
- The windshield, windows, and mirrors can be marked with a vehicle’s identification number (or VIN). This service doesn’t cost much, and it reduces the risk of theft significantly.
- When prospective criminals see your car is well cared for, they’ll assume you must have a good alarm system and ways to find your vehicle.
- A baby monitor makes a great anti-theft device because you’ll be able to hear everything that’s happening in your car.
- If you know you’ll have to leave your car in an unfamiliar place, hide an old switched-on phone or tablet in it. Just remember to synchronize it with your Google account in advance.
- A quick-release hub will let you take the steering wheel with you when you leave the vehicle, and thieves won’t be able to get far without it!
- If you don’t feel like spending a bunch of money on car security, try a quick tug on a spark plug. A car won’t start without a spark on the cylinder.
- If you bump into someone’s car or someone slightly bumps into yours, you should take the rights steps: roll up the windows, lock the doors, and call the police.
- Park in areas that are well-lit and preferably have security cameras, such as building entrances and parking lots.
- If you make use of an obvious anti-theft item, like a steering wheel lock, you should still install a GPS-tracker in an unusual place.
- According to crime statistics, cars are most often stolen from public parking lots, gas stations, or near ATMs.
- If you get a call from a company that has supposedly installed the alarm system, locks, or something else in your car, never answer the questions about safety.
- If you’re having trouble locking the car with the fob, there’s a chance that someone is trying to intercept the signal, especially if you’re in a public area.

Hey there! Have your car keys ever been stolen?
Btw, here's a video on amazing self-defense techniques: ruclips.net/video/T7aNSRoDCmg/видео.html
Thanks bright side I love your channel
Always put a gear lock after parking your car...
Great tips! Thx
BRIGHT SIDE My method beats them all : Live on an island. No one steels cars here.
Guy tried to steal our car from my wife, he didn't see our 2 old German Shepherds asleep in the back. Police arrested him at the hospital when he went to get treatment for multiple dog bites.
Was arriving to a hotel late at 11 PM. Outside parking was full & all that was left was multi-level garage parking. I pulled into a spot & got a real bad feeling. I had an overwhelming thought that said - do not get out of your car, keep your doors locked, do not turn off the engine, look around, it is not safe. The feeling kept getting worse -so I dropped the car in gear & pulled out - that's when I saw a man slid down in the front seat of a car the next parking spot up from me with his car off & in the dark. My guardian angel saved me that night. Alway, Always listen to gut feelings or thoughts that pop into your head from nowhere!
Wow
I’d like to see a car security system (with video surveillance) that once the thief is in the car the ignition is disabled, the doors lock and the thief can’t get out. The thief then hears over the speakers “This car will self-destruct in 15 seconds!”
This would be a great comedy skit
Hahaha😁😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
LOL 😂😆😂😆
🤣🤣🤣
About 4 or 5 years ago, there were a bunch of thieves in my neighborhood that would go and steal money from peoples cars by using other devices that could interfere with the car to unlock the door of the car so my parents tried putting their car keys in a metal box and it worked!
The trick where they call about the alarm system is used for houses too. Back before we had an alarm I got a call from someone saying they were from the alarm company and wanted to know if we were interested in upgrading our home protection system. The natural thing to do is to call the lying telemarketer out and tell them that you don't even have an alarm system. I was too smart for that. I told them that we already had the top of the line system so we were not interested. Probably saved us from a break in and it woke us up regarding protecting our home.
My car has a great anti theft device. A manual transmission.
But here in europe, thats pretty common
Well at least you don't have to worry about idiots steeling your car but for folks like me that manual transmission makes your car an easier target ( not that I would steel a car).
@@1982seba in EU they won't steal automatic one due to reliability issues
Doesnt matter even a manual can be stolen with ease. Actually easier. Good hill or push will get the car running after you give constant power through the ecu. Automatics are just as easy. Just beed to pop the shift link and go
Only for America
I have spikes on driver seat, but carry a board to sit on. Always take board with you!
I just take the engine out of the car while parked.
I must try!! THANX😉
🤣🤣🤣
I'll try it.
Don't take the engine, that weighs too much. Take one of the tires.
Michael Cheney That’s the same exact thing I do. I never leave home without my trusty old cherry picker in my back pocket.
Can you imagine even thieves are on youtube and have seen these precautions 😂😁😁

Thank you! 🙏🏻
I always appreciate it when some one does this so I don't have to listen to some guy that likes to hear himself talk.
Everyone subscribe to the bright side it’s a life saver
Great advice , worst feeling in the world is having something you worked so hard for stolen from you 😔
This is very true and painful
Which one of these was great advice? Did you even watch the video? It was horrible
Humans are snakes and disgusting.
A car thief saw a Yugo with a club on the steering wheel. He broke in and stole the club!
I've had 2 cars stolen from me. 1st one was a 1974 Porsche 914 that was stolen in 1980. Cops didn't find it, but my husband & I did by asking the right questions of some near by businesses. Although it was vandalized I got it back. We weren't able to prosecute anyone for the crime, but hey, I GOT IT BACK! 2nd one was an old Maverick that was customized (yes an old Maverick, lol). Unfortunately it was never recovered. I was very young & wish I'd known these deterrents then. Thanx for the informative video.
Someone once told my uncle there's some glass in front of the car and my uncle went and check then they jumped in the car and drove away thank fully my uncle had his phone inside and he tracked it
Hi, I'm an automotive locksmith. I make car keys for almost any cars regardless if you have it or not. I've done luxury cars like Porsches, Bentley, and BMW's before and mid ranged cars like GM, Dodge, Toyota/Lexus. Some cars are extremely quick and easy however to make a key for. 2018 Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep push-to-starts takes literally a minute to program a key for. A 2014 Maserati takes about 1 minutes to program a key for as well. However, one of the best ways to deter a car thief is simply an alarm. No matter if you're fast, you won't take a chance at a noisy car alarm for any seconds of attention from strangers. If your car is an older year then simply purchase an aftermarket alarm kit which will work as well.
Of course. What do you think of the device the remotely kills your battery. I'm thinking of one of those. I have a precious '96 GMC, a popular easy one to steel. I've had it done once before, but they failed to steal it, but did lots of damage. Cheers.
Love the alarm. Best purchase ever.
Great advice! Thanks
The taking your steering wheel with you reminds me of Mr. Bean. Guess he was ahead of the times.
Haha.. i thought of that too.. that's so funny!!
Lol😂
A problem to execute this with today's cars having airbag in the hub.
Yes !!
Who are you fooling!
The Club for the steering wheel is not very effective. They can actually be removed from the steering wheel quite easy. The Club has a brake model that I believe would work much better because you can't remove it from the brake. This is effective because you can't put an automatic car in gear if you can't push the brake.
Also, if you get a flat tire don’t stop in a dark place at night. Keep going even if it ruins your rim until you reach a lit place with people. During the day if someone stops to help you keep an eye on your things and memorize their license plate.
Also, if you are on a major highway, you don't want to get out near that traffic, drive on the rim, it's safer. So many people killed when getting out of their car, or a stopped car is plowed into.
It's so sad that we live in times that we are scared to get or give help! It's esp worse with those transporting children and the elderly.
When I lived in a suburb of Dallas, I would see adults leave the car running to go into a convenient store - no second thought like they did it all the time. The windows were down, so it wasnt a matter of using a keyfob or extra key to get back into a locked car.
A couple times during 3 yrs before moving back home to a safer environment, even though I was in a hurry and had to unload & reload my own 2 children and and my infant/toddler, I would SIT THERE AND WAIT for the adult to come back out to their children (or possibly someone else's children?). As hard as it was, I held my tongue. You never know what will set people off, esp when it comes to parenting issues.
My mom told me the same thing years ago about riding on the rim if you get a flat tire at night -- great advice!
On a dark highway don't start the wipers if some one throws eggs on wind screen. Instead keep moving and call highway police for help.
"HELP!!!POLICE...Someone threw and egg at my car!
@@atomicfriendo the police would likely take it seriously even if it wasn't done to try get you out the vehicle or to make a mistake as it creates a driving hazard
In order to install a removable Steering wheel, you have to take out the original steering wheel and its airbag.
Depending on the state, it can be illegal to remove or disable the airbag.
Thank you for posting this helpful information... I am an older lady so I carry a stun gun in my pocket... loaded pistol on the front seat... two cell phones one for inside ... one with me?? I pray for God’s protection wherever I go. Being an older woman doesn’t mean helpless... I also have other weapons on me at all times... I was raised by grandparents one who slept with loaded pistol, the other who slept with her bible..My grandpa would shoot his 30/30 every week as he said people needed to know he had one. God Bless you all and stay safe on your travels. 🧐🙏🏽🔍🙇🏻♀️💕

Extra tip: After wrapping your keys in foil, put the extra foil on your head to protect against mind control waves. This will prevent thieves from placing ideas in your head to give them the car. For best results, wear the tin foil hat at all times.
Or colander with wire wrapped around legs of it to remaining contact with the mother ship
Right.. Add banana peel too inside. Potassium in banana distorts signals.
🤣
If you open your window to a stranger 1 inch ( 2.5 cm ) make always sure that you can see his/hers hands, they can have a spray or something dangerous. Also be ready to drive away fast away if something seems funky.
Going home with the wife driving, an old van followed us for almost 20 miles. We got off at the exit and turned left. Ahead was a one lane covered bridge. Just before we got to the bridge, the van that was following us passed us and started to go onto the covered bridge ahead of us. Just before reaching the other side, the van Stopped. We were half way across the bridge and for four or five seconds we were wondering what the two guys in the front seats were doing. Just then, both men opened their doors st the same time and started walking back towards us with each man keeping one hand behind them. I opened my door on the passenger side, drew my sidearm and leveled it at the would be bad guys and yelled, “GET BACK IN YOUR CAR A**HOLES!!” They stopped dead in their tracks, looked at each other and backed up to where they came out of their van, closed their doors and sped away. Crisis averted 🤨🇺🇸
Your wife must be real scary.
You were nice. I would have made them jump from the bridge. Great observation and because you confronted them 1st, they did not know how to react. People should understand that and confront individuals first. That doesn't mean shoot first, but turning the situation around and not being the victim but the aggressor!
It means that they had your address or had followed you at an earlier time so they had you pegged with your car on someone's shopping list.
Tony
If they had their address, why would they be following them for so long. They could’ve just waited at their home for them to arrive.
I’m gna tell this hack to my hubby because he’s always worried someone will rob the car while we are in the bloody house 🏠
Bhahahahaha Love ya2
Another way is to keep the car from being stolen install a dead switch in a place away from the steering column...flip it on to start up flip it off when turned off....
This is actually one of the best ways, since tracing the car's ignition circuit is the last thing a time-pressured thief wants to do-- even if it occurred to him the circuit is the problem. So long as the switch location is easily accessible to you, the driver, you should have no problem with using it on a moment's notice.
Put a matt down in the drivers seat full of glass.
Absolutely...one kept my truck from being stolen!
Robb Tee , good one! I remember my brother doing this to my mums car at only 14 yo... Mum freaked out as the car didn't make a beep, the my bro laughed and with my urging told her about the switch. I was so proud of him- not my mum though😂
Bright Side classic at 5:00 - pull a plug cap. Image shows a Porsche with a guy under the hood, the engine is in the rear on these!!!
I had one experiance several decades ago which allows me to give my tip which saved me from real trouble. I was on my way home and had to slam on my breaks when a woman jumped in front of my car, she tried opening every door and jet off when a cop car came around. My tip is to drive with the doors (and hatch) locked, with extra windows rolled up if you don't have electric windows.
Oh a furry lol
I imagine that woman in a horror movie. You were the vacant uncaring Maybe Samaritan. Ever wonder what happened to her? No. And that car is long rusted junk by now.
I have been wearing a foil hat for years so aliens can't steal my ideas. PSA: Alcoa Aluminum Corp.

🤗😀😂🤣
ARE U A REPUB?
Thanks for the vid sir!
A guy approached me in my car and had one hand slightly behind him. I cracked my window and he ask me to roll he window down and I drove off called he police. Always look at the person's hand if they approach you. Ask if you can see both hands and see what happen. He will probably walk away. This I have seen also.
ALWAYS lock the car from the button inside the door. ALWAYS turn off the engine, take your keys with you and lock your doors when getting gas. I heard about a person getting in someone's car as they were getting gas one time.
That is a huge problem here in s florida. I always hide my purse take my keys and lock my doors.
jefferyb304 my boyfriend ridicules me for locking car doors whilst I wait for him to conduct his business. Don't care, I still do it.
If you read the word "racecar" backwards , it will be "racecar"
Cool! .. i play around with words alot but never noticed that. Tfs.

Woah never noticed that!
@MinteePawz some sort of pun , right !😂
A good theft deterrent too is buying a stick shift car! PLUS a car WITHOUT all that fancy remote entry, starters etc.. you know, LIKE HOW IT USED TO BE
Gilbert Arciniega yeah cuz most people don’t know how to drive manual
Thank you! Now i know what to watch for when stealing cars. Thank you so much!
Baby monitors work, especially if you remove the under dash light bulbs, move the seat as far forward as it would go, and put a rat trap sprayed black down by the bar that moves the seat. True story - '88 Camaro convertible. It worked like a charm. I was awakened by the sound of a trap snapping, followed by a lot of loud swearing. They never did come back...
How fiendishly clever - thanks for sharing!
@@Meijimack I eventually had a $700 car alarm installed in her. She was my first new car, and I was fiercely protective of her. Had 230,0000 miles on it when I sold it 9 years later. But it was the baby monitor and a $1.50 rat trap that saved the car. Happened in Long Island, NY - July, 1989
Oh that's brilliant! & inexpensive too! Love it!
I. Sickles
Great idea
20 seconds in, and I'm thinking "heh, the best anti-theft device here in 'murica is a stick".
I know a lot of the comments already mentioned it, but it's still what I thought of.
Bonus points for me as my shift knob has no label and reverse is in an odd spot.
All great advice, just check your local safety inspection station about the removable steering wheels, some places will fail the car for it. (Just reinstall the original before an inspection if it will fail, then switch back after its inspected)
always have two hungry Rotweillers in the back seat ..
I always have one. Believe me one large Rottie does the trick.
Reported for Dog Abuse😂
@@speedygee6396 exactly my thoughts unless its 15 celsius outside. No more or less. Fahrenheit, maybe 66,6 i dunno XD
Feed the poor cuties
I believe taking some fuses out of the car will mostly help out. Just take a picture of the fuse box before you disconnect any fuse! I recommend taking out the starter relay, or ignition relay/fuse
Probably better than someone watching you loosen or remove a sparkplug as they suggested.
I did that with my beetle, and only stole the stereo
The Club may not be as useless as people have been led to believe. It was found out that you can easily saw your way through the steering wheel and take it off, but like some of the tips here, you have to think like a thief. Most thieves are looking for a quick job. If they do see a Club on the steering wheel, most won't have a hacksaw just laying around. Hacking through the steering wheel takes extra time that they don't want to spend, unless the target is a Ferrari or something really high end (then again, why would you have a club if you can afford cars like that, right?). Granted, none of this is a "perfect situation", but if you were stealing a car, would you want to take the extra time to cut a steering wheel when it might get you caught?
Exactly!! Back in the day when the Club was popular, I knew a person in a theft ring crew. He said it only took him 8 seconds to saw through one. Eventually he got caught but the stories he told me were hilarious.
you just gave me a bright idea. when i build my ebike its getting a gps tracker thats hooked up to the battery and concealed.🍻
A fuel shut off switch hidden in the car, It will run for about a half mile before stopping. In a city this is so inconvenient to the thief that he will abandon the car, as trying to figure out the problem in traffic will cause too much attention.
ATTENTION to the producer of this video: you should add that installing a (hidden) switch in an unsuspected area of the car i.e. "console" or under the dash that is connected to the main relay it'll stop thieves from being able to start your car or bike even if they stole the key or bypass wired the ignition
Yup this is it!!
I heard a story which happened in Australia. It was an evo 7 as I remember. It was parked in the driveway. During the night, thieves came, pushed it out of the area and then loaded onto a flat bed. Owner believes that the mechanic is involved. He may have disabled the parking brake during the service and let the thieves know where the car is parked at.
Inside jobs pay for info only rampant today, was going on in UK people paid to take jobs on checkouts to copy bnk details happened to me by time mnths later figured it was lad had left job
How can a car thank me?

Beep beep boop boop (that means thank you when you press the lock button) yw

ALBERT EINSTEIN it cant
Keep the doors locked while driving. There was a case, someone approaches you at red light, asking for direction. Opens your door from outside and pulls you out, threatens you snd drives away.
Thanks Bright Side for the Great information.
Yes, about the stickers. I have plenty of stickers on my windows. They don't want a car that stands out. A plain, undecorated car is very attractive to thieves, blends in with all others.
I do the sticker thing also, and unless they want to start peeling them off with WD-40, they'll most likely go to another car. I have two on the outside, and a couple on the inside of the window, in a place where you have to pretzel yourself to unglue them. Then again, why are we paying auto insurance?
Had someone try to steel my truck about 2 weeks ago... they didn't get out of the parking lot. It's a manual haha

I used to drive 48 state long haul. Over the years, I have had "the feeling", vague, but uneasy. Once, I moved to a truck stop across town over that. I don't know if I was being overly cautious, but my instinct said something was out of balance.
Very helpful...thank you from the Philippines
Could always pull your starter relay lol. I've done that a few times I didn't want my ex taking the vehicle
Dirk Turrell or remove the negative terminal on your battery
Wrapping your key fob in foil does nothing to prevent the codes from being received. In order to capture the data, the key fob has to be IN USE, as in when you go to unlock your car. A key sat on your kitchen table is totally passive and ONLY transmits it's codes when then button is pushed.
So pressing the lock button on the door handle is the best option as it doesn't actively use the key fob?
Thanks for such a wonderful tips
Thanks a ton
i have been using the steering wheel club since they first came on the market about 40 years ago, i even use the club when filling up with petrol
I leave a target laying on the seat with a pencil notation on it. (My .45 Cal at 25 yards) , I make sure all the ;bullet holes are in the center of the target.
over the years I have used the remote locking at night but in the morn, I have found the doors unlocked but I get told I must have forgotten, now my current 2nd Toyota Camry 2002 has no remote you have to put a key in the door to deactivate or activate the alarm & key in the ignition switch to start must match code in the key. when you buy a 2nd hand car you do not always get the spare keys
Awesome, thanks for good advice
I saw a documentary where they interviewed a former car thief. He said they liked cars with “clubs” on the steering wheel cause they use the club for more leverage to snap the pins that lock the steering wheel in place. Then they hacksaw a slot in the steering wheel and toss the club. I tossed mine after seeing that.
Another Bright Side dim-bulb piece? Key Fobs: 1- only partly true on older cars (early 90s) 2- Thief can only grab your signal if you're using it. Shielding it when you're not using it does nothing. The only thing that makes sense is to never use the keyless function, use the actual key in the lock. So as long as you get the foil out, wrap your head in it as well.
Thanks you helped me "Not waste my time watching it"..lol
actually the new signal stealing devices work as long as the few fob is within a certain distance of them. But yeah wrapping the fob in foil is not only ghetto but ridiculous get a faraway cover if anything
Ever heard of Relay (Keyless Fob signal) theft. Researhc about it, and you'll know Brightside is true. Thanks PatPat.
Didn't see this about tinfoil until today after I made the same point. People should engage brains before uncritically believing everything on youtube.
My oldest car is 2015 and I had 2 cars that someone entered in 1 night I keep all my cars locked I keep all FOB keys in a metal box now and never had a problem!
imagine how many thieves are watching this to figure out how to combat these tactics i'm def not one of them 🤣😂🤣😂
I had a situation once where a guy was in the middle of the road asking people for various things to get them out of their cars. When he tried to lean into my car I stuck the barrel of my revolver in his face. He quickly got the message and moved on.
Excellent video.THANKS
You know what's absurd? That we live in a world where not only do we have to go thru all kinds of hassles to secure our cars, our passwords, our online presence and our identities, but we are now conditioned to accept it as normal life.
When I was growing up in my hometown. People didn't lock their doors, they left their keys in the car everywhere and never worried about leaving bicycles, or other items outside at night. Don't tell me the world hasn't gotten worse. When I was 12, my friends and I used to go out and not come home fore 2 or 3 days in the summer. We were around the neighborhood and had our sleeping bags with us. We were seen by plenty of parents and also spent a lot of time in the woods. Our parents never have to be concerned with us going missing, or being killed by our own friends. We didn't have cell phones, but then again, we didn't need them. Things were slower, more laid back. Oh, we had rare occasions of stealing, but so rarely did it happen, it wasn't of much concern. I'd gladly give up all the innovation to go back to that time. I can tell you, there was far less stress, far fewer people going in for "therapy". People had integrity and when they shook your hand, you didn't need a contract, or their signature. i miss those days.
Seems like a fantasy now. But we grew up like that too. But there was some stealing, gum balls from the corner store.
Yes I have had someone "mugged" me once in Detroit I had nothing on me and my car was a POS but fast forward 15 years nice car nice suit and well armed. Was pumping gas whe I saw someone in the reflection of my window kept walking back and forth about 50 feet away and I watched him and as he came closer I pushed my jacket open to reveal that I was carrying he turned away and took off. I really believed that I was about to be mugged again and was ready to pop a round into his head! I do not let anyone approach me tell them they can talk to me from 30 feet away at ATM's I tell people to back off. I am not afraid anymore because I have trained with law enforcement and train to stop bad guys with lethal force. But Yeah be aware of everything.
When I was living in Bakersfield, a transient asked me for a dollar, and I didn't have it to spare. So when I got out of the fast food, restaurant , my tire was sliced on the sidewall.
I'm sorry that happened to you! $1 he didn't get (for no cash on hand) certainly didn't deserve you all that money & time he put on you! That's a lot of bad karma for a transient to bring onto himself, esp if he makes a practice of it; which he more than likely does.
I've went thru a drive-thru to get a cheap hamburger for a transient & a plain hamburger for the transients dog - which I fed to the dog in 4 bites to make sure he got to eat, and also gave them 2 cups of water.
At a Wal-Mart entrance I saw a man & his dog, so I got a small bag of dogfood, a metal feeding bowl, collapsable water bowl, a plastic water cup, and 2 G of water. I always pray their needs are met and that if the dog is a ploy to get handouts, something will happen to give the dog a loving home.
If a thief can't start your car, they can't steal it. Install a fuel or electrical system cutoff switch in a hidden spot, such as in a random spot in your trunk. These switches are cheap and quick to have installed, and many mechanics know how to do this. When your car will not start, or it dies immediately and won't restart, thieves will take off and find one that runs.
So a killswitch
I woke up once and my car door was unlocked. I just figured I must have forgotten. Then I found out the car parked next to me had it’s expensive stereo system and a bunch of other stuff they’d left in the car stolen that night.
They took absolutely nothing from my car. So, why did I feel a tiny bit offended? 🧐
Once me and my family were leaving a parking lot and the car was making a really annoying sound like something was wrong and my mom told my dad to stop the car but he didn't do it directly and stopped in the next street. He later told my mom he thought that sound was because of thieves who did something with it so that's why he didn't stop
Yes, you should always drive a bad sounding car to a garage ...by the time you get there, the engine is junk. Even my WIFE knows better than that. I told her to NEVER drive a vehicle if it sounds bad or a red check engine light goes on.
“ better not steal that car it’s gonna take an extra step to turn the steering wheel” said no car thief ever 😂😂
Thanks for the tips 😎
I was set up by the man I had been involved with for over a year. I had been to his house several times and always parked in the same spot because it was the most convenient based on the direction I was facing (his house was on the corner, so when I turned left onto his street I would park across the street which made my car 100% visible from his house). The LAST time I was there, he told me to park my car in a different spot, which seemed safer because it was under a street light closest to his driveway, but In hindsight, I realize it served two purposes, I didn’t have direct visibility of my car because of the bushes and my car was parked facing the quickest getaway route. So, be suspicious if someone tells you to change where you park. He distracted me while his thieving accomplices stole my car.
I was at a gas station buying gas, when I finished I got in buckled up and looked to my left to the other side of the Island (pumps on the other side of me) & both vehicles were facing the same direction & man just pulled up and got out, HE was walking BEHIND my TRUCK and slapped the tail gate 2 times while I was pulling away, & I stopped and ask him ? Whats the problem ? he said I almost hit him. He was walking BEHIND, so I could not have hit him. I continued to drive off when he chased me yelling and banged on my side panel. I drove out of the station. (BOTH VEHICLES WERE IN THE SAME DIRECTION FACING, EAST SIDE BY SIDE WITH THE ISLAND IN-BETWEEN).
THEN: I realized that was a scam, he could probably call police and say I hit and ran. I turned around and went back and called the police. Then he called the police. I waited inside the gas station until the police came. Nothing came of the event, but a word of caution I am an older female, and was by myself that day. In a nice Toyota Tacoma duel cab It was very obvious he was looking for a law suit, HIT AND RUN. If I had gone on down the road I possibly could have later had a law suit for hit and run. It was a set up ! TOTALLY!!!!!
Lucky to live in a state where I don't have pump gas on my own. Not allowed by the state.
Tell us what happened after police arrived.
Very helpfull!!! thanx !
*Thank you* 👍👍👍👍
My mom used to ha e a club. I remember her having to take it in and off every time we went out.
I watch everything on bright at 2x speed. Its such a waste of 20 minutes if you dont.

It’s only a 10 minuet video haha
Same
Wish I knew it sooner, it is very helpful
Did this. Worked beautifully
Good work. Thank you.
I liked your video, in 2006 in Qatar , I traveled abroad for 2 weeks and forgot one of the car windows was completely open - safe country and I found my car as it is when I back - Toyota echo 2005
Get a tire boot like the ones the city uses when you don't pay parking tickets.
5:10 Won't work on a car with a coil plug? WRONG ! Simply remove the king lead , the HT lead connecting the coil to the distributor ,NONE of the cylinders will fire . Infact, this is MORE effective than on a car with a coil pack as you can take the king lead with you !. If you really want to stop a theif on an older car then switch the firing order with the HT leads (just remember the order) this will cause big backfires attracting attention, alarms dont work because people ignore them .
I always just took the rotor out and put it in my Pocket.
I pull the rotorbutton on mine. I'm a Ford guy.2 clips on the cap.pull the button snap the cap back on. Fits easy in the pocket. Will not start
Very nice information thanks
TY, good advice......
Far more usefull is to pull one or two of the electrical fuses from under the dashboard, left and down from the weel.
Put a doll in the car in a car seat, and a fake sleeping dog that looks like a husky.
Another is a Denver boot, a clamp-like device that mobilizes the car by locking the wheel which it is placed on. These are used by parking enforcement officers to force the delinquent owner or driver to pay their parking fines.This can used by you, bought by you, to prevent a car theft since one wheel won't turn.
Thank you
In my Criminal Justice class we went over theft and a great way to not get you car stolen is to make you car as bright as possible. I mean a car theft is less likely if your car is orange, yellow or green since those colors stand out. Window decals and sticker can get the same effect. The most stolen colored cars are red, white, blue and black since they blend in.
RED? blends in?? 🤔
@@briannab5296 yea. Like if someones car is in a dark place it blends in with it.
Orange will stand out and you can see it
What about metallic grey? It's the most common colour for a car here in Italy.
My friend's car got stolen 2 times, yes it's green.
The theft is more about the car than the color
@@cb1716 that is also a factor, any car can get stolen but it's less likely if the car is a bright color since it's easier for police to find a orange car then a white car.
I didn't believe it at first but my car thanked me...we both cried!!
It's a beautiful thing.
All very good tips BrightSide... it’s so sad to have to be so extra but unfortunately this is the world and times we are living in.. but saying that I can’t help but think about my mom telling me about when she was pregnant with me she was driving along and saw a fellow expecting mama hitch hiking (not sure if her car was broke down or just straight hitchhiking). So my mama said that she pulled over to offer her a ride and as soon as she did that a man jumped out from behind the trees, bushes, whatever it was he was hiding behind and they both got in my moms car and the dude made her drive them to the airport! Which was like 45 minutes away! She got lucky to be in such an unlucky situation! Life lesson was learnt that day! Just be kool Americaaaaa’

Have a keyed battery disconnect switch & relay setup installed that interrupts the starter. Have key switch located out of sight. Or you can have a series of switches of normally open and normally closed set up in a bank. Only a certain combination of switch positions will allow the car to start. The more switches the more combinations. That's if you want to have a car with a ton of switches installed to look like a 747. Most cars have spare switch locations with no switches. Have a switch installed with a nondescript or little used function. Don't interrupt the main power on modern cars with a master battery disconnect, as the computers will have to relearn every time you turn it off. Just a few ideas.
I've been told to keep my Car Keys by my bed and in case of an Emergency to hit the "PANIC" button to alert neighbors to call the Police... so wrapping them in Tinfoil would prevent this safety tip :(
great idea
Charlotte Stringer the “Foil” could block the signal 😵
I'd recommend getting a cheap and small wooden box, or plastic, with a lid that's easy to open, glue foil to the inside, and just put your keys inside of that.
It would be easy, and fast to get to, and you wouldn't need to rewrap it every time you come home.
YOU GUYS ROCK, you are the best.
You inspire me to reach for the sky with my channel.
Very helpful
Great channel 👍
But i need some help with developmental psychology so do we have any video on it, please suggest.
#14. If you are able, turn the Club so the lock cylinder faces in. #15. Put a sign in the window that says: "Police, waiting for tow truck." #16. Install a fuel cutoff switch that's not easy to locate.
Unless ur steering wheel is metal, the club is completely useless. It takes mere seconds to cut thru a steering wheel that isn't metal, or doesn't have some kind of metal inside of it. Once it's cut, the club slips right off
@@saucecastillo460Yes, that's true. But unless the theif is a pro, they may not know about the wheel's construction. And sometimes the mere sight of the club lock facing in might just save you.
@@VIDEOHEREBOB that could work, but at this point, most thieves prolly know how to get around it. But if the steering wheel is metal, ur good money
The club is useless. Just cut through the steering wheel with a hack saw. Takes about 20 secs. The club that locks onto the brake pedal is a little better, makes it so you cannot press the brake pedal. Most automatic transmission vehicles won't let you shift from park without pressing the brake.
It might not be as useless as you think. Yeah, anyone can hack through the steering wheel, but most thieves aren't carrying around a hacksaw "just in case" there's a Club on the wheel (if they do get caught, that's more evidence against them), but you are still correct, the Club is like a padlock on your door, it doesn't keep thieves out, it keeps honest people honest.
Thank you kind theif
@@cujoedaman I carried a hacksaw just for the club. Cars with the club were specifically targeted by car thieves in the late 1990's for the express reason of proving how useless it was. Dateline did an entire special about its ineffectiveness. The club will make the "new guys" look for a different target. The dudes that have been in the game awhile smile knowingly at the club.
Very nice
Amazing video 😀
