RE: Underhood security question

[Gary <mopar413@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can also get a locking cable set up.  I have seen them on some cars and once had one on one of my cars.  Never used it because the key way gone.. Personally I do not like the cable and pad lock thing.  It  is effective but not my thing.  I don't leave my car out where It can be got to.  .   Of course  you could alway shave the door handle, install electic lock.  LOL
