    Well, recommendations would be useful right now...

    Funny how nobody heard anything (I'm a light sleeper).

    im more or less an insomniac and our car is within our view, and being that are window looks directly torwards our car (and i leave it open at night) i can hear if anyones just outside. sometimes if im uncertain, il just take one of my dogs on a walk (almost always take my pitbull) and thats definitely scared off some people that lounge around the alley that leads around to my back door. that and my neighbor keeps his backdoor actually open, with a screen that lets u see out but not in, and hes had to scare off a couple of kids one time that were drunk walking around stupid. my point? get with ur neighbors, help each other out and catch these SOB's in the act or something.

    I guess I'm not sleeping tonight. And this is odd, in the other thread I posted about them going after Japanese cars, now American cars?

    security cameras are inexpensive
    here's a system from Costco 299.99

    http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11334480&whse=BC&topnav=&browse=&lang=en-US&s=1

    also motion detection lights are useful

    Its so unbelievably badass thieves would be intimidated by its unique styling and aggressive features that they'll think twice before stealing anything on this car! (yes those are cardboard side skirts+hood scoop and duct tape) :p

    there a lot of motion detector lights
    i was only looking at Lowes since there is a store closeby

    this one was for about 20.00 dollars but there are choices to be decided
    appearance, placement, wattage. saw one that is solar powered but more $$

    I'm definitely going to replace all of the fixed lights with motion detector ones. Then leave the switches on all night!

    curious
    that picture of the Jeep and missing wheels and tires.

    it appears that the vehicle must have been sitting for a while
    the two brake disc rotors are rusty and that takes time to occurr ??

    That Jeep usually sits there in that spot - they must have a summer house or something.

    Now that I think of it, that Jeep may have been parked there all summer.

    I have a question -

    The wheel locks at Pep Boys, are they all the same? Because someone could buy the wheel lock key and that makes the locks useless...

    Also using a Club on the steering wheel now.

    its probably all the same when made in batches by the manufacturer.

    came across the same issue when buying a door lock for the home.
    keys could be the same in a batch because its needed for several doors
    in the home. I just needed One...

    That is one badass Cherokee to have sitting outside all the time, not getting driven. Those wheels and tires are going to be expensive to replace.
