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.
Personally I just siphon all my fuel every time I park my car, then carry the can with me.
😂😂😂😂 underrated comment
That’s only an option for 4 cylinders engines
I actually remove all my tires and wheels and leave my car on cynder blocks every time.
when I want to steal a car, I press triangle button.
Ha! Y
Gen Wan Is that a Grand Theft Auto reference?? I never played THAT game but I do know what the "Triangle" button is! If so, GOOD ONE!!
So you press triangle button to turn on the flashers, then wait for the police to arrive? Where exactly does stealing the car come in?

Man... this guy stole a truck just to make a video for us! Now thats dedication, subscribed 👍
Putting his freedom on the line for our information
Or bought a stolen one.
@@muffin2u63 get funny.
As an apprentice mechanic who has a lot of thieves in town, I thank you!! Now I can honestly tell people the pros and cons of each vehicle they have and how to prevent theft! 😊
1)weld a pipe on the mouth of the keyhole
2)weld the key to a metal rod contraption to access the keyhole
3) applications : go figure
? That doesn’t solve a thing. They would smash a window? Thieves rarely have keys to open your doors…
@@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.
PREVent theft. Vote for conservative politicians
And judges.
Put their asses in PRISON.
Just drive a first gen Prius or a Fiat. Even thieves have standards.
They will steal everything trust me they steal everything what is free
Even ashes of of an ashtray.
U krazy I'll whip tha shit out a them shits😂
That's true. Even I wouldn't steal that.
They tried stealing my dads truck its standard and it was last night but they failed.
The ultimate anti theft is to drive a PT Cruiser, thieves will just feel bad for you
LMFAO
Lmao
Nissan Sentry, Ford Taurus, Oldsmobile Alero
Daewoo matiz
I parked my PT Cruiser in the ghetto and next day woke up a thief left a Civic for me 😂
Who remembers the old Viper car alarms? "Please step away from the vehicle!"
Gosh, I’ve uninstalled a lot of those cuz they always go off for no reason and the owner just gets fed up with it lol.
@Sorry but not Sorry * who remembers the old “Club” that locked on the steering wheel?
@@laurice8056 they don't make ones like that anymore?
"Protected by viper, stand back"
I had that alarm 🥲 my nephews thought I had a talking car 🥴. Now they’re grown men. How time passes
Thanks for the information . I know a machinist in Greece who removed the gearshift lever from his car and redesigned it so evertime he parked his car he just removed the lever and it was NEVERstolen or vandalized in 20 years he kept his car.
I just take the fuel pump fuse with me if I plan to park in a suspicious area for a longer period of time.
ltwargssf R they will still take it. If a thieve wants that car guess what he will take that car. Tow trucking they also use
@@rhurtadorh32 Obviously, hard to prevent a tow truck from stealing your car.. Only defense for that is have a tracking device put into the car.
@@Motorsportsgeek I used to take a plug off the harness. Once removed it won't let the injectors fire.
Usually a club is enough for the average car thief.
I've unfortunately known enough jackers in my day to know that if there's any deterrent they'll usually try to go find a different car.
Unless they specifically want your car then as the gentleman above-mentioned that will do whatever it takes. Even a tow truck.
I saw a posting about a Honda getting tow stolen from a local mall.
Made me WTF out loud.
@@jiakabery3550 don't you ever underestimate the appeal of a Honda!😂 I own a Maserati 4200 coupe but I am still craving for a Honda Ef hatch/sedan or 95 prelude. ..
My neighbor had a classic El Camino, thieves pushed it to the corner and loaded it on a tow truck. Never saw it again. I had a Honda Civic with a club that attaches to the brake, never was stolen.
Buy a manual any American will be stunned by the alien wizardry
Xx_Blazer _xX ... Lemme get this straight: buying the manual on how to use the car will confuse any American. As for “Alien Wizardry”, does that refer to using the Force?
@@mitchtheninja5864 The manual transmission vs. "manual the book" was an attempt at a joke :)
Who's Amanual?
Anyone who can hotwire a car probably knows how to put their left foot down lmao
I’m sick of hearing this. Its not that hard to drive a manual. I drove my first manual without anybody knowing. I stalled once, but was on my way out of the driveway in less then like 2 minutes. Its seriously not hard.
Garage your car to help prevent thievery. Also, add another layer of protection by having your German Shepherd sleep in the garage.
I like to use the fuel pump power for a kill switch.
Let them crank it a while, with false hope.
Man that's what I did ChrisFix got a video on how to do it.
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 :)
Had the same idea about the horn and fake kill switch.
And deadlock the doors with the bastards in it!
Or a fake killswitch that notifies the cops and locks em bastards in.
@@apassionfortangling3671 @Vincent Lambert
The car windows are made of glass, So not a good idea. Instead have a dash cam (preferably hidden) that silently records any movement inside & outside the car. Then let the social justice take care of the rest. Just in case the dirt-bag decides to take the cam, the footage should be discretely stored (in real-time) at a separate not easy to find/reach place.
Ha it's exactly what I have, now need to change
At major events like sports games and concerts, many people who arrive late park illegally and get towed away. Thieves just come in a tow truck and haul away whatever vehicle they want. If you see a plain painted tow truck, with no company name, watch out ! ! !
That's genius but terrifying as hell.
Slap an "Acme Towing Service" decal on the side.
@@TheOzthewiz So the Coyote can tow the Roadrunner away?
police do that too ...
@@gabrielc6252 Exactly
Thank you! To prevent your vehicle from getting stolen you must know how they are getting stolen to make it more challenging.
For newer cars with a FOB, the RFI blocker, or Faradays cage, is a small metal box that blocks radio waves. Drop your keys in it when you get home. Great advice.
I always remove the driveshaft from my truck every time I park it.... jokes on them when they get it running :)
i just take my engine with me you should try it sometime
I pick up my truck and wear it like a backpack. I dare the cashiers to say something.
Just wait tell you be in a hurry and gotta out that shit on
I light my truck on fire everytime I park you should see their faces
So it was YOU! I popped the hood and checked the transmission fluid and found it to be ok. I pee'd on your battery.
if you are a car thief be so kind and voluntarily skip this video

The best anti-theft measure I have found, is I dont buy a car thieves wanna steal
Or just a manual in the US
Yeah right? So am I looking good with my '86 Toyota pickup? LOL
That hasn't been my experience. Some thieves stole my busted ford probe and took it for a joy ride to run over mail boxes until it got stuck in a ditch.
That is bull man i can buy any car but i want to catch the thieft red handed and give him 50 lashes How when car starts a seat that will shock the heck out the driver. Cameras watching of course more fun that way
The problem with that is, older cars are usually way easier to steal because they don't have any of the immobilizer chip stuff on them. So actually older cars can be bigger targets for theft.
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.
Im a trainee thief, thanks for the info.
Michael Serrano please don’t steal my car. Wait I have chip transponder, good luck.
lmao
@@jogmas12 I'll just destroy your car then
@@jogmas12 Not hard to get rid off...
Papi B oh yeah, you want to go through the trouble of duplicating the transponder chip and key? My car also has manual transmission, you most likely can’t drive one.!!! ..... and it also has an alarm and club steering wheel lock. Sure you want it now?!??? LOL 😂
I learned about these techniques years ago when I had cars and motorcycle stolen from me. Last night, I heard a loud repetitive banging noise at 11 PM. 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!
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.
I just push the button on the door to lock.
As an automotive instructor, I'm blown away by the creative ways these scumbags steal cars. Here in Seattle-Washington, it's rampant...Cover your VIN number on your dash, and install a kill switch. All cars have a visible VIN on the drivers side dash area so that police can see it through the windshield. Cover this, as I did.
Just buy manual transmission cars thevies too lazy
Or a 1000CC-1400CC motorcycle, They will kill themselves with the first gear.
Doesn’t work for Honda thieves.
😂😂😂🤣
@@dustin9258You just ruined my piece of mind. We are told no one would buy it-guess they will part it out.
Marcy Fox yeah if you have one that’s popular to be modified they part them out. If not, you’re probably safe.
90% of the people that are watching this are probably trying to steal a car and 10% are pooping watching this

Taking a huge shit 😭😭
Fapping
I'm taking a shit at work watching this wtf
antein cousin shhhh 😂😂
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.
My old friend had a kill switch so the car would only start if you pushed down a certain power window buttons.. it was only about 40 bucks.
I just pop my hood every time & remove my starter relay and the fuel pump also.
Gives me a little peace of mind.🤙
This dude is really just telling a bunch of people how to steal cars lmao
No
He also showed his own keys
Chris Rendon .... Its educational. Thieves already know how to steal your car. So he’s telling you what to look out for and ways to combat their techniques.
Chris Rendon
People already know how to steal cars this is not new news
Or showing people how to not get their car stolen.
I feel ya, man. I bought mine with a screwdriver in the ignition
ROFL 😂😂😂 ..I bet he stole that car 😂😂🤓🤓
😂😂😂😂 i think i'd buy the same way
I had plenty of spare keys for my truck, using the screwdriver. Though everyone in town had a spare for mine. It gets you wondering, when you see your truck going by on the road.
It really be like that when you buy a car with no keys.
Buy a screw driver and get car free ,🤣
Just had my car stolen within past week and I learned a lot thank you sir
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.
Now we wait for the kill switch install video
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.
I Agree
@@jiakabery3550 also make a fake switch
@@lazertag720 or even wire it to a preexisting switch, just label it with something until you leave the car so no one touches it.
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.
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
why does it have to be cheap
@@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
@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
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.
god bless you
Forgot some steps I had to come back to this video mid robbery. Hope i get away
Edit: I got away 👍
good shyt primo proud of yu
😂glad you got away!
Marc Smith's guaranteed ways of preventing car theft:
1. Drive a car at least 20 years old.
2. Get VIN etching on all the glass.
3. Customize it. Some really fancy pinstriping is good.
I can speak personally the value of a kill switch! Someone broke into my F150 truck and broke/took out the ignition lock cylinder, but even though it appears the thief spent a lot of time on it, he had no luck, due to the kill switch!
Where's your kill switch? Asking for a friend.
@@levigoldson4242 Yeah he told me it's right on the dashboard blended together with the AC switch, yes it's a dual-functional AC button.🤣🤣🤣
Put a "two pin turn signal flasher" in the power supply cable to the fuel pump and fit a switch that bypasses it. Of course you drive with the switch in bypass but a the thieve... well, they will start the car... but then it will stall. Then they will start it again.... and it will stall. This draws attention to them. People come and ask if they need a hand. Or if the car is parked outside your house at night... it may wake someone.
But where would you hide the switch at??
@@levigoldson4242 sus
Just take the steering wheel with you, I learned that from Mr. Bean.
easy to fit a new wheel like Mr bean

Thanks man this really helped! Got a new whip today!
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)
I usually just leave the keys in the car. Sadly ,No one has stolen my car
YA, no kidding.
Multipla owner? I left my keys few times when i had prev car, but my car key (beside key was in ignition switch) was closed from outside. I installed car alarm without mounting syren.
Me too. I usually include my wallet in case they need gas money.
Small town in the Northwest. We grew up knowing everybody and you always left keys in the ignition in case somebody needed to borrow your car. The habit stuck even when I go to the city.
@Brian The Explorer damn bro you really took the time out of your day to post a negative comment and make assumptions about a person you do not know. Maybe you should reevaluate your morals and mental health because you obviously do not have your priorities in order.
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.
You're going to forget to remove the pin one day
Fouzaan Amjad worth it
You are a legend my friend
I like that idea.
Sounds fake
America's most effective anti-theft system: MANUAL TRANSMISSION
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.
Some use a tow truck. Who's going to question a tow truck hauling away a car. Most of us are going to think that the car was either parked illegally or was not operable and the owner requested the tow truck.
I do the same😅
Or a repo. Which a lot of repo guys have normal every day pick up trucks to fool the debtor until it's too late
They used to hang horse thieves.
Horses are more valuable than most cars.

Ah, the good old days when criminals got punished in such a way NEVER to repeat their crimes
Johan Last haha yeah like if you danced and they thought u were a witch and you were hanged. Or see I you could float and then hanged.
thanks for explaining how the RF is picked up and the keys transmit it continuously. I am glad I didnt buy the keyless entry feature and I have to just press a button to open the doors which I think is more safe.
Thanks for letting me know about this. So best is to buy a faraday wallet that shields the transmitting signal. We all enjoy keyless entry and i dont want that feature gone. Also make sure you have full insurance. Your car will just end up in Nigeria.
I have an older truck but it comes with a simple theft prevention device. It is called a stick shift manual transmission.
why so? cause the majority of the world will never learn or be able to drive a stick?
My manual transmission was stolen 3 weeks ago and was involved in numerous break ins, porch pirating. Some thiives are ambitious manual shifters.
@@smhaack63 My post was meant as a joke but there are a lot of young car thieves who can't drive a manual transmission.

Helpful info. You know your stuff. Thanks for the advice
Cool stuff. Could always open the fuse box and take out some critical fuses sort of a poor man kill switch.
I bought a car at an auction (Copart) and it did not come with a key. They (the dealer) said that standard procedure is for the owner of the car (with the title and registration in his name) to come and ask for a key, but since I had a receipt from Copart saying that I bought it, they went ahead and made the key for me. It makes me wonder, what if I had of printed out a counterfeit auction receipt and went to the dealer with that? The receipt wasn't any sort of fancy paper, it was ordinary 8.5 X 11 paper that you get from Wal-mart. I didn't think of that until this video.
And to make matters worse many auto makers put your VIN in the corner of your windshield under the glass where anyone can easily see it, I covered mine with ducktape from inside
@@darius2640 and now you're breaking the law, if you get pulled over for speeding and the LEO notices, it might be a large fine if they feel like tacking it on. They might just remove it for you and let it go....but that's not as likely. Missing VINs are suspected to be stolen vehicles.
@@transtubular I'm good, over here in europe there is no such law
Doesnt the dealer require the to be there?
@@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.
I have a club, a brake lock and am thinking about getting another steering wheel lock. As a former thief, will that deter thieves in your professional opinion?
@@Kateydid18 all of those are easy to get through. Takes 30 seconds to pick them. An alarm is the best option due to the noise. Again, I was in the Honda business, and almost all of us would walk away if we saw the car had an alarm.
When someone runs up on me with a thing in their hand, that's when the fun starts. You might end up in the trunk, never to be seen again. Just ask people that were never seen again. Except you can't.
@@stinkycheese804 lol not in Cali brother. We can't carry here. So the chances of someone having a gun to defend themselves is minimal. In over 3 years, never had a problem like that.
@@KDT5661 yes, you are correct. Most people won't be armed, but some of us carry anyway and it sure is satisfying to see the look on a POS face when they realize that you are a bigger thug than they are. I've had those amazing experiences more than once 😜
In here Canada, most cars got stolen because car owners turned on the car and walk away and let it warm up.
Let me get this straight: In there Canada, owners "turn on their car" in an act of betrayal, then walk away and wait for thieves to snatch it. Did I get it right?
texasabbott - I think they do that because it is so freaking cold in that shit land that they would freeze to death while the car warms up so they leave it unattended.
PapaWheelie Can confirm, live in Canada. My car takes 20 minutes to start warming up :(
Next time I'll get a car with pre-heating feature!
Charming_Prism - lol I have the opposite problem, I have to wait 20 minutes for my truck to cool down enough so I don’t die from the heat. I hit the remote start a few to help out
Remote start. Still can't drive the car without the key.
You can also just turn the fob off if you have keyless ignition/entry. Usually you just hold the lock button down on the fob and press the unlock button on the fob twice. This turns the fob off so it is no longer transmitting.
All you have to do to use the fob again is just to press any button and that turns it back on again.
Great Video thanks! On a brand new pick up truck, should you be installing the kill switch yourself? or bring it to a shop to do if for you? Doing it this way I'm skeptical as they will have your address on file etc and I want to make sure I trust them. How would you attempt this?
Best way to stop vehicle theft? Buy a piece of shit car and fix it up when needed, but don't make it look good.
It's funny cause thieves steal shit cars here for joy riding and burglary vehicles.
they call those "warrant wagons" round here. the cops do anyways. because typically people that drive them have warrants out.

A lot of info in less than 9 minutes. Good job!
Excellent information for my academic research. Thanks man.
These are tips to prevent car theft
Me:*stealing a car* aw...
I usually just take the whole engine apart every time I park, works like a charm!
ForzaClutch lol
Does the oil make a mess?
ForzaClutch I like to take the frame off instead
ForzaClutch your name sounds like a game
Well you can actually remove some electrical connections under the hood, so that the car doesnt start
6 best ways to prevent theft. 1: install a quick release steering wheel. 2 & 3: install a fuel pump and ignition kill switch and hide them in 2 separate locations. 4: install a 2 way alarm system with a hood and trunk pin switch to activate when opened as well as a glass shatter sensor. 5 install locking hood latches for cars as well as locking tonneau covers for trucks. And finally 6 this would be optional but anti penetrating window tint like the one viper makes, will prevent people from drilling and or shattering the windows to gain access.
i definitely found that informative and very well presented. don't understand how someone could announce to the world that they dislike something just for the sake of it. oh well...FUGGEM! much appreciated Homie! NEW SUBSCRIBER
Leave the key tumbler out and dangle some wires so it looks like somebody already tried to steal it. Then install a remote starter or on/off switch. Maybe a pair of cut off handcuffs and empty 9mm casings on the floor? Wire your low gas light so it's always on?
Don't forget the fake blood and biological hazard stickers!
Or an empty holster on the seat.
This would make for an interesting getting pulled over situation. "Um no it's not what you think officer, I can explain"
@@azmike3572 Ha! My friends dad had an real old broken .38 revolver for a shift knob. Cop wasn't amused.
Cop then didn't say, "Nice shifter you've got there, sir."
I had one stolen, a Toyota FJ. They just came with a tow truck.
That suv is ugly anyway
NICE, but funny as hell.
@@tomasgaspar8065 you ugly
@@tomasgaspar8065 SUVs aren't supposed to be "pretty". At least if you use them for something other than hauling groceries.
Wow dude that's harsh but just goes to show........if they want .......they gonna get it
Thanks for the tips!
Hey i just want to say thank you for all you do to help people. My car was in accident and I was able to remove the airbag module and seat belt for reset instead replacement. I've replaced the airbags and clock spring and the airbag light is off now. One more thing i would like to get rid of is that noise "bip bip bip bip" when moving forward or reverse and the meaning of the front hood red flashing light on the screen board. Thanks
Install an extra fuel pump and switch, run a hose into the seat poking through just above the head rest. On the same switch install an electric bbq igniter next to the hose. Just dont forget to turn off the switch when you drive.
lmao!!
Who dafuk wants to come out to their car and see a charred burglar in their fire-totaled vehicle? Total waste, you might as well have let them steal it.
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
@@rmblwgn I think doing that with a thick smoke grenade would be best. Then they cant see or breathe in the car and if they roll the windows down EVERYONE will see that shit and take witness. Just secure it in a mount nicely so they can't rip it out.
Hey man. I really miss your videos. Please come back to RUclips. You are one of the best mechanics on the internet.
Wow, beautiful location. 0:17. High up on a hill. Mountains in the distance and they actually look lower than the mountain we are on. Nice greenery. I wanna move there.
Wow, this new car is super smooth. Thx man 😌
plotwist : he is a thief

jessica xx Sure , he steals hearts .
ok

GamingWithMert you’re *
Keyless entry with push-button start is one of the dumbest ideas ever.
paulparoma I find it handy. It’s not everyday your car gets stolen.
It’s costly too - to Repair
It figures that car companies would invent a way to help boost auto thefts again.
the only good thing about it is you can't lock the keys in the car other then that it's shit with the fob on you and your close enought to the car anyone one can just come up open whatever door and car jack ya no thanks on that
bull shit it dosen't as long as the fobs close enough you can open the door now some have a button that you have to press to unlock it that would make it harder but still very possible but not all are like that there are a lot of cars out there that you just pull the handle to unlock it that's the ones i'm talking about it happen more with
Thank you sir for showing me how to protect my family. God bless you and yours, sir.
Great info mate. Thank you.
I pull out my ignition relay from my fuse box under the hood whenever I park my car in a strange place long term.
I pull my coil wire out and replace it with a dummy wire. Good luck on finding that one. But they just got mad and smashed all my windows out.
@@tomc8157 AGREE 100%!
Il just wait till u get home and steal it thnx for the heads up dumb ass

Very informative thanks you great vid btw
Thanks for the info.
yes officer, this video right here.....

Disconnect your drive shaft and thieves won't be able to drive your car.

@@user-ez4ny5kd7x noope
Yeah this is big brain time
Car theft rate drops to 0
just make a clutch for the steering wheel shaft
Thx for the info bro
I have installed a kill switch on several cars. For a while in the 90's 2 door Honda Civic, Integra and Sentra cars were constantly being stolen. My buddy had an Integra Type R which are very rare and a big target. We installed a kill switch but located it in the engine bay since he felt his only danger was parked over night. It worked well as more than five times he found his window broken, wheel stock broken or things moved around showing someone had been in the car. After that we did it for several of his friends.
installing a battery isolator in a weird spot is a very cheap way to prevent auto theft - most thieves don’t think to look in the engine bay
and you want to have to open your hood everytime you drive your car? I'd do a magnetic switch under the glove box so there is no switch that can be found and then just have a small magnet on your keychain for the kill switch
That is also a kind of kill switch.
Thanks for the Tutorial. Let me go try it out x)
I used to repo vehicles for banks. It was a fun job. Especially when you got to wave bye bye to the debtor who was skipping payments. It is easy to repo a car. There are a bunch of ways to circumvent steering wheel locks and ignition switches. Like I said it was a fun job after you get good at it. A good car thief (professional) can take your car in usually under 40 seconds.
Tell me how or you’re lying
I have an anti theft device, it’s pretty sturdy and can hold up to 6 bullets 😂
.45acp
Only works if you’re there!
Another thing they do is, go to the junkyard buy the computer and ignition w key out of a similar totalled car and then just swap them and drive away. It's amazing how quickly a professional car thief can pull this off
However, if you're targeted by this level of car thief. Buy good ins. Because they WILL get the car.
Won't work on many vehicles because the computer doesn't store the key information, and the PCM numbers won't match the stored VIN.
That would not work with my vehicles.
I being an Electronics Engineer have implemented systems that your described method would still not be successful. Neither would hot-wiring the vehicle, and towing the vehicle triggers the GPS tracking.
You think they buy it? I'm sure many thieves work in the auto repair related industries.
One piece of advice that I have given to many other RUclipsrs is that if somebody gets to your channel and is viewing your videos for the very first time you should really give them a chance to actually watch your video and see what your content is about before they subscribe to your Channel or like the video that's like buying something before you even know what it is it doesn't work that way
depending on how you look at it... sometimes a key-less type ignition can be the easiest. driving around with a sniffer box.
it is like window shopping for a free car.... put it in a faraday cage pouch.
The physical kill switch is a good deterrent also... If you are going to leave it parked for a long time you can go bananas with it... pull the ignition relay or disconnect the ignition coils and hell even leave it on blocks lol.
great channel. where is your shop? I heard that kill switch messes up with the car electronics. is that true? i was contemplating putting it because my newly installed computer autotarter is draining the battery dead when i don't drive the car for a week. any advice?
Back in the day I used to pop the hood and pull my coil wire that kept it from starting at all. If you didn't want it to show you could quickly pop off the distributor cap and pull out the rotor inside and replace the cap. It then looked perfectly normal.
You remind me that l always removed distributor on my golf 2 , back in 1990
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.
very informative thanks!
A New Jersey cop once told me if you want to keep your car , install 2 kill switches in 2 different locations , shutting off power to your fuel pump .
One of them in the trunk is a good place to hide one .
Usually they ll find one and try to start it but just end up running the battery down.
I also leave a little index card on my seat that says " I SEE YOU ".
It messes with a lot of peoples heads and they start looking around when they first look in your vehicle .
