Securing your car from part thieves?

[Sputnik]

I've always wondered if there was a way to secure the grills/headlights to the car to prevent some a**hole from coming with a screw driver and stripping the front end of your car off.


Can some one shed some light?

Thieves are good at what they do, If they want it they will get it one way or another. Shame but deterrence is just for honest people.

Cement everything together. Pros: Nobody will remove it. Cons: Including you.

Use security torx bolts?

[oxymoron]

those tamper proof torx like in the bathroom. but a lot of mechanics have those or can easily buy them

[reelizmpro]

yeah but they aren't at every corner store and the would be thief would not be expecting them.

Id worry more about a thief popping open my hood with a long flat head and stripping parts of my engine.

A good yank on the headlight grill will pop it off and you can just use a car key.
