Hi Guys:

I am a newbie to this site. I have a new Black 2012 Shelby. I love it and want to protect it and keep it. My last Shelby was stolen just outside of Houston 3 months ago. I SUPPOSEDLY had the best alarm system made. The Police officer that came to take the report said that the thieves are now scanning and shutting off the entire alarm system, I wasted money having this piece of junk installed. I was told by the installer (Best Buy) that it had anti scan technology. (BULLCRAP) . I am now looking for something else to secure it.

security systems will do nothing, look into a engine cut off or removing the spark plugs when you leave it :P

even then if they have a tow truck you cant do anything, its one of the problems owning a 50k+ car.

 

Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear! Keep a pet rattlesnake in the car! lol

 

Welcome to MF! ...any pics?

 

Welcome to MF!

 

sorry to hear about your car, good luck with the new one

 

Welcome to the board!

Have you considered LoJack? I think that even with the power cut, the system has independent batteries to continue to power its GPS transmitter for tracking.
I could be wrong about that, so please don't quote me. If I am right, let me know because I might seriously consider such an anti-theft system.

 

The police officer who came to take the report told me that LoJack was a waste of money. he said that many cars are taken in parking garages and stripped and the lojack signal is compromised. Yesterday I spoke to a detective in Houston Auto Theft and he said for me to check out Ravelco. He said many law enforcement have it on their personal vehicles. I am scheduled to have one install on Saturday. I will keep you posted. Supposedly they have never had a vehicle stolen.

 

Thanks for the tip!

Considering that they are in Richmond, I think I will have to one day take a trip down and check them out. I hope I can get a good deal for a kit & install.
