Theft-proofing a convertible with no steering lock

GEO said

I had a friend who restored old mustangs at his home and would park them in his side yard for sale when he finished.

After having more than one stolen he got so he would let the air out of one of the tires when parking it outside.

Told me he never had them steal one with a flat tire , and just to keep a full air tank or 12v compressor with you to re inflate the tire.

Then there is always using the club steering wheel lock along with the one that locks the brake pedal.

Or do what I do and not park it anywhere I can't see it , an exception would be the weekly cruise nights where I just take the keys and hope for the best.

Also I have a stated value for it on my insurance , is a little more but makes me feel safer

Although no method by itself is full proof, if you do enough to slow them down or piss them off, that's the best deterrent. Makes the other car at the next house, street, or block an easier target. I use many things ranging from a lock through the shifter locking into park. Shifter is welded to the floor. Steering wheel lock, column lock, pedal lock, battery located in trunk, hidden kill switch, alarm system with 2 way pager on a battery backup. Wheel locks and the boot on both one front and back wheel. Making it un-towable and or drivable. Carcover locked down, 4 hood locks, blocked in my driveway right outside my window. Security cameras with motion sensors and security lights on all night. I sleep right near the window. I also don't sleep that well due to insomnia, so it's light sleep at best. A Shotgun and 357 magnum by my side. Perimeter fence and have guard dogs. Doubt anyone will try to take any of my sh*t and live to tell...............
