Re: Security Questions - 63 SF

[Dan McCormack <mcwheels@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There's all kinds of things you can install to make your car harder to steal 
but the truth is if a thief really wants your car most of these devises are 
only going to slow him down. Sometimes that alone is enough of a deterrent 
to make him give up and look for an easier target. Frankly since we used to 
hang horse thieves I have no problem at all with the death penalty for car 
thieves. Your best bet is to make sure you have adequate insurance God 
forbid just in case. All my old Mopars are insured with Grundy for an 
"Agreed Value" of no deductible comprehensive insurance for way more than I 
have invested in them. The agreed value is important, "stated value" is 
useless so check your policy. The premium is ridiculously cheap.
