Suggest cheap ways to deter thieves when it comes to Mopars.

[SteveSS]

The heavy snow has essentially blocked the way to the Barn at the ranch so the '69 has been sitting in the driveway. If I'm outside I get people stopping and asking if it's for sale. Today some guy put a full-page note on the windshield. Asking to buy it. Do you have some cheap protections that really work well for the money and scurry the people away that are looking for a cheap 2nd Gen.

I'm thinking cheap car cover.
Remove the battery.
Pull the coil wire.
I heard the CLUB was no good. they just saw through your steering wheel.
Is there some kind of cheap wheel lock? In case they bring tow trucks


Thanks, Steve

Sleep in your car.

Might not be cheap... But it'll be effective...

Scurry the people away? Put a for sale sign in the window, for $150,000.

Wait, you mentioned CHEAP.
Nevermind.

How about a tire boot ? I have one and they’ve become a lot cheaper. I paid 250 for mine ten years ago now I see them going from 25-125.

I think it’s a great level one deterrent. I see it like this if they really want the car they’ll take it with you in it but this will pretty much deter most.

I'd find a buddy with a tractor and have him scoop a path to the barn for a case of beer.

Curious minds want to know why the car is sitting out in the driveway in the snow to begin with instead of being dry in the barn before the snow fell?

Put Chevy emblems on it.

I have a couple of locks that hold the brake pedal off the floor. It is very difficult to defeat, but as they say, where there’s a will there’s a way. $55 —-https://www.autozone.com/alarm-and-.../p/unbreakable-autolock-brake-lock/348033_0_0

Colorado? And snow? And freezing temperatures? Just set up a sprinkler and turn your car I to a huge block of ice. LOL!

X2, And the winner is!!
I don't park my cars outside that I want to keep, EVER and the snow is no excuse.

Remove the steering wheel, chain it to a tree, remove a wheel, park something else behind it, not park it outside before a snowstorm

Dude, it happens. I got caught this year too. I’ve got 3 places I store my cars, and the snow hit a little early, and with a vengeance. The last piece of my puzzle parking wasn’t in place when the snow hit and my driver quality, survivor 65 Galaxie wagon is stuck in my driveway. I don‘t drive my classics until spring because they salt the roads here. Snows got to be gone plus a good solid rain to clear that sh*t off the roads.

But my “garage queen paint” 65 Coronet and 69 GT350 never sit outside under any circumstance overnight. But the beater got stuck.

Exactly! Not cheap.

And you don't watch the weather?

 

[GrabberOrange69]

Sure I do. But I live at the base of the Cascade mountain range and at elevation. If you’ve never lived the unpredictability of mountain weather, we’ll, I can’t help you. It was only supposed to have dusted…but it snowed a foot.

Ive seen it snow a foot in June with no forecast of snow.

No biggie, the right car got stuck outside and it’s fine. It’s never happened to me before.

well put a big sign on it ( this car is not for sale ) most classic cars that are in good shape and on the road are indoors for the winter . once the salt is off the roads then they come out . if you got a good amount of snow its not good for the old suspension its a lot of weight .

Stand on the hood and piss a note in the snow....
