Just bought a Redeye Charger, it’ll be here in 2 months and I’m nervous about it getting stolen since these cars are in high demand in thief land.

Not my daily, have a garage but not sure if it will fit. I have security cameras and will have a motion security cam/flood light. I’m going to put in a kill switch on fuel pump for sure. What else? I know if they really want it, they’ll get it but adding barriers buys time.

Maybe a pedal lock for the brake? Old schools steering wheel club?

Apple gps tag?

Thanks!

Honestly, get the old fashion Club to lock the steering wheel.

Air tags if stolen will help. Faraday bags for your keys. Park in garage if you can.

Faraday box really works for blocking the key fob signals while you’re home. They even make small ones for when you’re on the go for individual fobs. The air tags are a good idea as well I’m going to look into that myself.

I use Tracki gps on mine and so far have been happy with it. Here is a thread on it by HemiMetal.

Tracki GPS Tracker

I bought a Tracki GPS tracker from Amazon a couple of weeks ago and finally got around to activating it and testing it out this weekend. I paid for the two year subscription which dropped my monthly fee from $19.95 per month to only $9.95 per month. Overall impressions are positive, given the...

If a professional Thief wants it he's going to take it. However what we can do is try to slow him down, this would be a multi-tier approach.
For me I have installed a compustar t13 with dronemobile alarm. Basically even if a thief is able to get the vehicle started the alarm will immediately shut the vehicle off if it does not sense the compustar fob. Generally they have to smash out a window to get inside, this of course will set off the alarm there's also a very high-pitched alarm siren inside the car which to say the least makes it very uncomfortable inside the car unless you have very good ear plugs. Also GPS tracking that uses satellites and LTE.
Next is the vehicle stays in my garage which has cameras, motion, window and door sensors with an alarm that will wake both of my neighbors and myself up immediately.
My Redeye is a Sunday driver however the wife's Trackhawk has the same alarm and it is her daily driver. We won't park it at the airport for several days but are fine when we travel and spend the night at a hotel.
I have no steering wheel locks or break locks and I don't pull any circuit breakers because mostly here in Texas you really need the remote start LOL

i've never had a car stolen before don't see this one as being any different.

Not parking outside in one place consistently is key. If you do that you are without a doubt exposing yourself to pretty bad odds. All the gadgets in the world won’t stop the real scumbags from trying. At the very least you’ll have some sort of damage to your brand new $90k car. You’re basically daring them.
Find a garage.

Most often stolen cars by state:

The 10 Most Stolen Cars in America (Updated 2021)

These 10 cars are the most stolen vehicles in America according to a new report from Insurify.

insurify.com

Looks like Michigan is the state in which a Charger is most likely to get stolen.

Best thing you can do is avoid parking and driving the car in "bad" areas. Car theft is a possibility but car jacking is also a risk.

Garaging the car when not in use is also a good idea. Parking it out in the open on a street or even in a driveway brings with it some risk of theft or vandalism.

Have to mention you are concerned about theft.

While I have had zero cars stolen (years ago did have a dirt bike stolen but was recovered) I have had 2 new cars hit. In May 2009 a 4 week old new car was hit and declared a total loss. And then in June 2009 in a used car I had owned for 2 weeks I hit a mule deer. $25K+ damage. Then more recently, January 2021, my 2 month old Scat Pack was hit while parked in its assigned space. $8K+ in damages.

Sell it

 

[SickToo]

Don’t sell it

Stay

Looking forward to your next thread…

Where you will undoubtedly ask which products you should use to clean it

 

[Germansheperd]

That’s it I’m going to start a micro fiber towel thread.

 

[HellcatHellYeah]

Interesting chart Rockster, I know you only needed a flat head screwdriver to break-in and steal my 92' Chevrolet 1500, pretty shocking that with a screwdriver I could streel a truck in under a minute.

 

[HellcatHellYeah]

Now some Micro fiber towels offer more protection from scratches while others may absorb more moisture but, before we get into that lets do an in depth study of the history of Towels. About 2,000 years ago fur towels were used but they sucked and left water spots on your horse....

That’s it I’m going to start a micro fiber towel thread.

Make it fit in your garage, not parking in a garage is like ringing the dinner bell
