I just got a scratch on the letter T of the decal. And it is deep all the way to the metal so i just put some clear on the scratch and covered it. Thought it came out all right but anyways this is my decal. And I think every one else is right about puttung all the brands of upgrades on your car that is a huge billboard for people to break in.

You'd be surprised on who thieves go after. We just had a few cars that got broke into and they passed on the boosted tc, sti, srt-4, s2000, low rider s10, lexus, corvette, and benz. They took some stereo's from some mid 90's cars.

man, what's up with that? If I were to steal from a car I would go with the car that has valuables, it makes sense.

Then again, the more valuable the car usually the better off the owner and/or the more the car is worth to the owner therefore the more severe they will attempt to find/prosecute the thief.

If I had a 1980 something Honda CRX I'd probably not go after it as hard as if it had been, say, a 2000 something BMW M5...

But then again they have the best inurance with the highest coverages so they really don't care cause' they get all the money back. Chances are if you own a 1980 CRX you have no Coverages so you are probably going to seek it a little more than someone that has insurance.

Then it goes on a person-to-person basis... while many of the BMW, Porsche, etc. owners would have the insurance and just take it, I and others (who probably would work on said cars ) would want our investments back... I love my ride too much.

I heard they were using one of those jimmy sticks (is that what they're called?). I was thinking it's probably easier to use that on an older car. Also the newer cars most likely had alarms which makes it a little harder.

I'm putting in some night vision cameras. I had and have a camera setup on a tripod recording almost every night. If they don't get my car, I may catch them going down the street or getting the sti across from me.
