i just rub my genital warts all over it. it won't prevent the theft, but it will make you feel better when you know the perp has no clue what he has coming to him

Which loctite is better??? Will they leave any damage to the base if they try to steal it with loctite?

blue is preferable for this. It is removable only with tools. Red is permanent and I dont know if you'd be too happy with that

i cant believe something that seem so stupid so popular. stealing s2k attennas? must be a cali thing or something. if you asked someone around here what a s2k was, theyd be like, "huh? oh really,a car, now why would i want the antenna?"

I think I would rather put nothing on mine and let them steal it... cause replacing it is cheaper than having body work done when they try to pry off your glued one... thats just me though

While antenna theft is really common, determined antenna theft is not. Generally I think antenna theft occurs when there's oppurtunity and nothing better to do; in so casual a case, when hand twisting doesn't work, the average antenna thief will move on. I would go with blue loctite. If one were determined enough to bring tools, let him have it.

yea same with mine. I was told by someone that it came in very clear. In some parts of town it's clear others it's staticky. I didn't know static cost 25 dolla.
