Default Re: Theft Prevention Ideas??

I recently went on a trip on RT66 on my OT '66 Mustang. I did 3 things for theft prevention. 1-a battery cutoff switch in the trunk 2-a pistol trigger lock around the hood latch and 3-a cable lock through the left front wheel. Took less than 5 min to set up at night when we got to the hotels and less than a minute to remove in the mornings. Nothing that would stop a dedicated thief, but hopefully it would deter joyriders and slow down/draw attention to anyone who wanted to steal it. It also gave me some piece of mind at night.

On my 8BA powered tractor when left at a show overnight I take the rotor and swap a plug wire and coil wire in the distributor cap, but honestly that won't do much against a determined crook.

I think the best you can hope for is to slow them down, or draw attention to themselves so they move on. But if someone else wants to bad enough they will take it.
