I dont mind ppl looking at my car, some dont like it some look cause its loud or like it but either way i got a surprise for thieves and haters!
Me too. I carry a gun but legitimately as I have my CCW. Its also good for at home too because in my state you can legally shoot someone who trespasses onto your property.

Whenever I go to a public business place I always park near the windows where I can see my car. If there's ever an occasion where I have to park it out of view there are many, MANY layers of security protecting my Teg. I even got the big yellow wheel lock that covers the lug nuts.

There are still places I won't go with my Teg like malls and movie theaters.

I'm so paranoid about my teg being stolen. I have no alarm or killswitch installed so it could easily be stolen.

Also don't have tinted windows :\

Yeah I get paranoid a lot too, even with all the security layers I got. Our cars are stolen on a regular basis so its always good to be paranoid about it being stolen.

Definitely start investing in some security soon.

Depends how close I am to my house also. Don't like people knowing where the teg is kept.

I take my car ANYWHERE and i'm glad i have my alarm and a kill switch cause it wont leave without being towed and when my car is getting broke into my alarm pages me of course ppl can cut the batt but to even cut the power u got to get inside which way b4 that my alarm would be going off so that gives me time to go out and my pager is LOUD! not 100% stoppable but it gives me time to go outside PULL...AIM....SHOOT!

You have a back up battery for the alarm? I should probably put all that crap in my teg, but I don't leave it outside unattended.

The problem with even having tint is that thieves will break into your car, in case they might find something of value. Since they cannot see inside the vehicle, then they will take their chance and possibly come up, or not.

Happened to me once. Of course they found nothing of value. Filed a police report, and had to pay for a new window, along with new tint to be installed. Those are the downsides.

Yeah sometimes dark tint will not work in your favor, but usually it does. The thief will not want to risk breaking into your car if they can't tell whether your teg is equipped with an alarm. Then again the more "professional" thieves will just assume there is and do what they do.

My tint is pretty dark (20%) but in retrospect I wish I would of had it tinted darker. In regards to valuables Im never concerned about that as I keep nothing of high value in my teg.

Like I have said before I am very cautious with my teg to the point of extreme paranoia. I do own a gun and have my CCW but thats only good for when I catch the thieves in the act.

Plus Im pretty confident that the many layers of security will thwart of most amateur to semi-professional thieves away from my baby.

Fucking stupid fast and furious. Man I remember before that movie came out like back in the late nineties you NEVER heard of people having their Civics/Integras stolen. Once that dumb shit came out the theft rate for our cars literally increased exponentially.

Anyways, thieves suck dick.
