Stoplocks & Car Security Question

[stoop]

Well I did say I still see them used in York - so I guess some people think they are worth having. Me? I rely on the alarms and immobilisers.

15 - 20 secs to remove, this to include most aftermarket physical deterrents.

No

Best physical deterrent - having a car painted in such a colour thats most thiefs would baulk at being seen in it.  

Metallic purple... you're as safe as houses mate

Ok, just had alook again - purpleish.

No self respecting thief would go near it - feel free to leave it unlocked in Perth Tesco's anytime (either of them   )

The main things about crooklocks and steering wheel boots is that they are very visible. Would be thieves are deterred before doing damage then giving up.

Kenkays answer is spot on about crooklocks etc, if its an opportunist type thief - they will simply go for the easier prey.
And if its a real professional, nothing will stop them if yours is the car they want.

Just get the wife to pop it in her handbag - the car not the crook-lock!

Keith,just how dark does it get to need that many lights the boot must be full of a very large battery
