They've been doin this for a while now. Random checkpoints all over.

 

Yea it does look like rebar, but its another deterrent and would make it that much harder for them to take it. I like the idea of it, and im sure it could be improved to make it even better

 

stole dad's tacoma, and our 97 supercharged previa's cats. *******s...

 

Always makes me think of this news video about South African car flamethrowers:

 

lol that's exactly what I
was talking about

 

Do not understand why not use chromoly? It'd take a friggin torch to get it off.

 

i think they are counting on this being enough of a deterrent to ward people off than someone actually even attempting to cut through it. i mean why not make it out of 17-4 or hastelloy?

 

^ Good point with the deterrent, then again I like the fish hooks lol.

 

Or just throw a skid plate on that *****...

 

^ Thats a good idea too. Prolly not for your typical daily drivers, but an idea non the less

 

lol the guy woke the whole neighborhood up yelling for help. My buddy went out and wouldn't cut the guy loose until the cops got there. Cops told him he was sick and that he couldn't do that but couldn't cite any law forbading it. No criminal charges were filed.

 

yeah its pretty big in milpitas. i get a lot of shops calling for cats cause they were stolen. i guess 3 people were arrested like a week ago here too.

 

That's awesome, I know there is something about 'entrapment' something or other, but glad to hear the owner of the vehicle didn't get in to any crap.
At 300$ a pop I'd have done something similar.

 

I originally opened this hoping for some neighborhood critter death trap mixed with humorous youtube videos.

Never the less, those are a great idea! I caught some punk stealing my neighbors cat from his truck back when I lived in Roseville. Lucky for my neighbor I start work at 3a.m.
