Auto-protection solutions!
icarusancalion: We could run 9,000 amps through the body of the car.
wildernessguru: I'm thinking we should take off the distributor cap.
icarusancalion: A live cougar in the back seat?
wildernessguru: And a silent alarm. That way I can break their legs while they're under the car trying to get it to work.
icarusancalion: My dad had a kill switch.
wildernessguru: In South Africa they had so many car jackings, the government approved two propane tanks under the hood. You just hit a switch and it shot flames out the side. I want one of those.
icarusancalion: By the time we're done, this is gonna look like Mad Maxx.

Date: 2005-07-03 11:14 pm (UTC)I met a guy who'd done, well, not quite that, but close. He was a mechanic, and people had broken into his truck and stolen thousands of dollars worth of tools on two occasions. He researched California law and discovered that he could legally install a system that would give an extremely nasty but non-lethal jolt of current to anyone who tried to break into his truck just as long as he had a warning label on each side of the vehicle.
The next time somebody tried, the cops found the perp at the emergency room with a nasty electrical burn on his hand.
He had the biggest grin on his face while telling the story.
Anyway, sorry to hear about your unhappy experience. Hope it's a one-off.

Same here. But we're prowling our car as if the thieves are at the gate.
