That being said, electric fence jeep security, and loony toons shotguns tied to door handles is funny, just remember it's also illegal Don't want to see anybody disapear from IFSJA cuz they're doing a 20-30 year for negligent homicide.
Scaring people without threatening people however, is just fine. So I stick to that one87 Grand Wagoneer "Sheila"

Nothing too wild for my rig; most of the time it stays unlocked here at the house, but up at the college its locked up. The little black/silver handles on the end of the locking mechanisms, those are long gone on the back doors. Just the screw threads popping out of the door. So, I dropped some spent ammo over them, .30-06. I've got NRA and terrorist hunting permit stickers on it, that's good enough security for now. When and if I ever get later on into the build, I will be installing a camera system, both for spotting and in case anything ever happens while parked. For now though it's not worth the effort.Originally posted by Locked and LoadedJeeps don't get stuck. People do.<══════════════════════════════>

Me and my brother in law were out riding quads, and upon riding back to the truck, I discovered that I had locked my keys inside. Literally, before I could look in my quad pack for my cell phone, he grabbed a piece of bailing wire from the back of my truck and unlocked the door...took him maybe 30 seconds...83 J-10 Jeep "Oscar"

Apparently one of my friends, (I met him on here) but his J-Truck doesn't even have locks. Not there, none. None at all, ever. Never existed. He plans to ultimately replace the doors with some doors from a wag. Honestly, I was kinda shocked. A car without even locks is simply foreign to me.
I'd like to get some rifle racks... Frankly, I see somebody wearing street clothes trying to look "Gangsta" -- chances are I'm not going really trust them. They may be great people! Not gonna trust them. -lock the doors and stare...- I tend to try to avoid places... Downtown ghetto area of Norfolk and 90% of Portsmouth.

I always kept a Haynes repair manual(well worn and greasy) as well as a couple small empty car parts boxes laying in the back seat of the T Bird. Door locks didn't work so I made it look like it was a POS car with mechanical problems. I drove that thing trouble free for 300,000 miles and never had it messed with.
I leave my J20 like that as well to keep anyone from thinking it is a nice truck. I do take the tailgate off and store it in the hallway when I'm not driving it. People look at it and figure what it is worth scrap value. If the brakeline was fixed, I wouldn't hesitate to drive it to Alaska tomorrow.
Best thing is to keep any thing of value elsewhere,as in take it in with you at night, or stuff it under the seat out of sight. I also carry a small blanket with me that works nice for stashing something under when going into a store or as in one case I gave my blanket to a lady who just wiped out her car in front of me on the highway. It was chilly out and she was scared and shaking. It went with her in the bambulance.Tom Gibson

I also believe in the ugly truck theory. My Jeep is so ugly nobody would look twice at it. Cars were getting broken into at my former apartment complex quite often and once a Durango that was parked right next to my Jeep had the windows broken out. One time after a rash of break ins at this particular complex, I received a call at 12:30 p.m. from the police saying my Jeep had been possibly broken into. The funny thing was that I (and it) were at my girlfriends house in Canon City about 60 miles away.
The ugly truck defence doesn't always work though. I have an 88 Mazda B2200 that is pretty ugly and its been broken into twice. Once in Ft. Collins someone broke the window out and stole 2 or 3 bucks in nickels and pennies and once here in the Springs my registration and insurance card were stolen, along with my cell phone charger.Tom
