Find answers to your legal question.





After three attempts of my car being stole, I made the following mods. Do you think it's safe now?

It's a 95 honda accord and here in Los Angeles, some car jackers tried to steal it three times.

Now I installed a master steering wheel lock, an alarm with starter kill switch, and will take out the fuses, some relays, and ignition wires before leaving it on the street overnight. How safe do you think it is now?
What else would you recommend to get done?

Please, answer the question, don't volunteer your thoughts about what's worth, or offer me to move, or saying "if someone wants it, they will get it", without supporting arguments...

I bet all those mods are worth more than the car itself

I think you have gone overboard. I wonder if a '95 Honda is worth all that trouble. You do have theft insurance, don't you? If not, you should get it.

im with the other guy if they want it not much you can do but slow them with alarm or not but what ever you can do will only make it harder to get

Less safe than originally. Previously, the only danger was the car being stolen. Now, because of removing the fuses, there is the danger that the brake lights, airbags, etc., might not work properly (if you do not put back the fuses correctly), so you might die in an accident.

It does seem kind of unsafe to remove fuses/relays every time. Have you considered a hidden master battery switch, shutting off power to the starter motor? Would have to be under the hood for safety reasons. And if it's a manual shift car it could be push started.

It does not really matter what you do, if they want it bad enough they(the bad guys) they will get it. I recently purchased a collectible car and for the first few nights, I felt that I was placing a piece of candy on the table unprotected and hoping that it would still be there when I got back. Couldn't handle it rented a storage locker to put it to bed and keep it safe.

It sounds pretty safe to me.

It's really safe. I think you can leave it in a garage if you have one or move to another place with a decent closed car park.
