Es schneit draussen und das ist für mich immer noch ein Thema. Im US Forum gibt's einen ähnlichen Thread https://forums.corvetteforum.com/c3-gene...ghts.html. Eine der Antworten zur klassischen Frage "was kann ich tun um Diebstahl zu verhindern?" kam von einem Polizisten. Ich kopiere den Beitrag einfach mal hier rein. Die Kernaussagen auf deutsch:
- Ein Profi wird dein Auto mitnehmen, egal welche Vorkehrungen getroffen wurden
- Niemand reagiert auf Alarmsirenen beim Auto!
- Ein "Kill Switch" bei einem alten Auto kann etwas nützen, zumindest wenn kein Profi womöglich mit einem Abschleppwagen kommt.
- Gut versichern hilft am meisten
I'm a police officer and auto theft in our area all but dried up because of modern technology. They now need to car jack you to get the key or jump in as it's running while your out at the ATM machine. These are usually knucklehead misguided youths.
A pro is going to get your car regardless of precautions if its on his shopping list.
See Gone in 60 seconds for a real sense of insecurity. I know it's a movie.
I carry proper insurance and don't worry about it.
I don't advocate carelessness like leaving it in an airport parking lot while on a cruise and I know this is an exaggerated example.
I'll run to the Home Depot and I'll throw in Lowe's so there's no hard feelings and don't worry about it.
I drive and enjoy the car.
If you have to go some where and the car will be out of sight have a fuel cut off installed and activate it or a "kill switch" as these were in vogue in the 70's when hot wiring a car was fairly simple.
As for a car alarm, ah they don't even pay attention to my lights and siren, I highly doubt anybody gives a hoot when they hear another car alarm going off in a parking lot.
Again, if they want it they're going to get it. Car alarm goes off they cut the battery cable and flat bed it. Any body questions them they say they're emergency road service and car owner called for service/tow.
Car gets flat bedded and you get a check from the antique insurance provider you chose to insure your former ride.
Then you pick out another vette in a color you haven't owned yet.
May sound cynical but I'm a realist so just giving you a real world answer
It's like the people that go out and get a home alarm system after they are burglarized. Well they will never be burglarized again according to statistics with or with out the alarm.
Disabling the car is the best prevention.
