After 2 cars have been stolen (last week) in the parking lot that I park in everyday, and apparently a chop shop in the area but nobody knows where it is. I have became concerned. Over a 6 month period the police have reported 13 cars stolen and various thefts. They can't pin the thefts on anybody but they know they are happening. What would be some preventative measures to protect my 'cruiser?
the ARB is simply bolted on and with a little common sense can probably be removed in about 20 minutes and rims taken off in no time. The IPF's are a no brainer to take...
What would be a good "safety" measure to prevent the ARB from being removed and the chop shop turning it into raw steel and selling? I was thinking of welding it to the frame or tack welding to slow them down. Not sure if that can be done, but I would like to do anything to keep my truck in 1 piece as it is one of the nicer ones sitting out there day and night. I don't have lock nuts for the wheels but would that really be a concern?
Just to feel safer, what are some things you guys would do? I would hate to have a "bull cruiser" pulled on me.
