lately i have been seen a lot of civics getting stolen and was wondering if anybody has any security to protect their car and wanted to share what i use besides an alarm that i installed and would like to give a big shout out to suspendedHatch as i followed his stealth installation on my hatch.
this is what i use

no but there is no space to get anything in there to cut it plus when is on you can't turn the wheels as the lock hits both the gas and brake pedal

and is under $25 us dollars lol,before i installed my alarm this was my only method of security and always had a good night sleep cause i knew my car would be there the next morning and even after i installed the alarm i still put it on just in case..

I don't understand how posting that causes any harm. I'm a thief and now I know what you got. So what?

I think it's a great layer in addition to the alarm. I don't like that you have to take that black cover off the column. That's just me though. I'm nitpicky.

You could undo the U joint and then just pull the car away with a strap to another car. So it's not a solution in of itself, but combined with an alarm it's great.

if the thief wants it!! they will figure out how to get it anyway!!

simple things like this will help you cause it will take them off guard but they may still steal it the next day if they noted that it was like that the day before



I own a Jeep as well and drive it to the beach with no doors or roof!!!. the most you can do is hide your shit to make it look empty and you don't care. if you have shit all locked up inside when they walk buy they think humm they are locking up all there shit to keep people out it must be worth something!!!

all you can do is hope for the best and deal with thief's if and when it happens..

but small things like this do help!!!

nobody even cares when a alarm goes off anymore cause they falsely go off all the time!! and it's the norm.. your best off with your own little things like this so if the thief's want it they will have to work for it at least!!

Let this be be a example more just to think of small and inexpensive ways to lock down your shit!!

this all very true i try to no leave anything in eye sight in my car and like you said when a thief wants your car some way or another they will get it but the lock works and kept my boy's 600hp coupe from been taken,the car was left in the middle of the road running cause they were only able to back it up
