Is the H3 an easy theft?

[Wisha Haddan H3]

I just read in the H2 section where the guy's SUT was stolen. So is the H3 an easy mark?

And besides activating the stock alarm and onstar, what have people done to secure your H3? I'm curious about full-blown alarm systems or things like fuel and ignition cut-off switches.

All it takes is one of these...

I take off the tires every time I park it, that makes it harder for the tow truck driver to drive off w/ it.

It does take a little extra time but the wife's H3 is worth it.

NIOCE, however is it only the ones with flames that the H3 owner must watch out for?

i have a viper 5900sst installed. its a 2 way pager alarm/starter. got tilt, motion, sound, and shock sensors on it. its disables the starter but i dont like the way it does that. in the next several days ill cut the wires to the fuel pump and put a normaly open relay in its way. that way even if the alarm is disabled or even pulled out, the engine would still get no fuel. probably will stick some more relays around the truck just in case.

in teh neasr future i might even install a gps unit, one thatcan be hidden anywhere on the truck.

how do they tow away 4wd vehicles, wont all the wheels be locked cauze its in park. i know they do that but dont know how. do they just shift the trans from underneath?

LOL the trunk monkey is hilarious. the horney monkey too

I remove the keys and remote when I leave the car unattended. It makes a huge difference from a theft standpoint.

Alarms will only deter someone who wants to take a car for a joy ride. A professional thief will get your vehicle if he really wants it. Alarm systems can be bypassed and transmitter codes intercepted and replicated with cloned fobs.

The GM smart key system is bypassed by replacing the engine CPU and ignition switch with their own components.

Locks only keep honest people honest.

i put a steaming pile of turd on my driver seat. Nobody wants to steal a car with a steaming hot pile of $hit. I make sure that its the special brand of turd where it stays steaming for a long period of time, in which i will then return to the car before the steaming affect wears off.

Now if I run out of turd, I back into a parking spot where a tow truck cant get infront of, and then pull up the emergency break. If they tow it, they will kill it, and hopefullly I can sue for the damages. (its like dragging a five metric ton metal cube)

I can go on forever...

Now if that doesnt work, and it is about to get stolen, thats when the thief will learn that I live in the trunk with a sawed of shotgun, and a winnie the poo teddybear.
Well since i'm a heavy sleeper, he will start driving the 3 for quite some time before I awake to the gental ride of the hummer. At that point I will cock it and....then i will have to go through the hassel of cleaning it. Since I have a strict schedule, I would have to wait until the weekend becuase I have a routine. So hopefully if my car ever gets stolen, and I use my weapon of choice, it comes on a friday=)

Frankly I'm not worried about it at all.

I know a repo man and he will just hook up to a car and drag it till its on fire then he will drop it on the freeway and say you must have done something to it to make it do that. as to the e-brake they can just disconnect that very quickly.
