Spot light theft

It works fine Utemad, within the limitation of any alarm that is. I know a couple of people that have them already. It's quite a neat but relatively simple design
See my reply to Post 95239. As was also pointed out in the same thread "who listens to alarms these days", However while it may not be much use in a shopping centre if the vehicle is parked in your drive or at a motel at least it should wake you up. I will be building one and fitting in the next week or so.
here is the original Silicon Chip link.

Is it a case of now having to have the lights which are obviously one of the easiest items to grab removable ?
Do they need to be on the trucks when they arent in the bush ?

Is a look at me ,mines bigger and brighter and more of them advert while in the suburbs really needed .I bet when you park the thing your mind is always on wether those lights will be there at the end of the night .

P.S The frontera that got broke into in East melb cost $700 for the rear passenger door window ,OUCH!!!!!

I thing the idea of attaching an electric fence energiser to the body work has merit, would work well at home where you could earth it well, some of those kick at up to 9000 volts. for bush use 12v versions are available, you then just have to run an earth lead from the energiser to ground when you park,
good anti theft device eh???

You have to bank on a thief who cuts the power cable before undoing the bolts. Otherwise if they cut the cable last, they would just grab them and run.

G'day all,

Any of you use tamper proof nuts?

Something like this

Just a suggestion. I think the alarm thing is a bit iffy as chances are they'll undo the bolt first THEN cut whatever else is required to get the spotties. Well at least you know they will SECOND time they come back to get them.

Unfortunately, you just can't leave anything of modest value unprotected these days. Very sad.

Smocky.
