    A shock sensor should do the trick if you have it on your alarm.

        Good grief, that's impressive.

          That it is. But I felt bad for the guy installing my alarm with all the sensors, lowjack, and cell notification bs. Took him two solid days. But the only issues I have had, I caused.

            A good set of locks for your rims would help a lot. I used to have an alarm on another car that I used to have and the bastards were so fast that they got into the car, opened the hood and cut the + cable on the siren. No more noise from the alarm .
            Get a car cover for your car too. They usually cover all the way down to your tires and some of them also have a lock .
            The positive thing about it, It will make it more obvious if somebody is trying to steal your rims. They would have to go thru a lock for the car cover and then another set of locks on the weels. The negative, you will have to do it daily....
            Just a thought.....one more thing to deter those bastards..
            Nothing is bullet proof but at least you are doing something about it before it is too late.
            Good Luck and hopefully they wont do anything to your car.

              Jack the car up, take the wheels off and put in storage. Set the car on blocks for a week or two. Maybe they will notice that someone else beat them to the score and quit coming around.

              Wheel locks as noted will work good too.

                The only way your going to get them is from a stakeout or night vision cameras. The best place for a camera is on your car!

                    What? So they can nip the camera too?

                    That makes sense, you're good at this investigative stuff.

                        lol, Since when was that a valid excuse?

                          Seems that you don't know what valid means. Anything that is not illogical is valid. A valid statement can be false. You are thinking of logical soundness.

                            You should watch your mouth and use your eyes and look at my most recent project.

                            And I have had seen hideaway cameras installed at all four corners as part of their alarm.

                              Wow, a real write-up. I am actually somewhat impressed. Not a trace of spraypaint in sight either.

                              As for the hide-away camera deal, it seems stupid to have that much money sitting in a car that thieves could very easily break into and drive off with.

                                Why even have a car then:( ,, Well for you, as for me I have a four car garage so I dont worry.

                                But I do plan on a camera install on my 86es once the carpet is pulled.
