I agree and I understand the need to keep your own personal anti-theft mods secret, and to not freely explain how to beat particular systems like Kirban's "Mystery" device (different from Touch 'N' Start). However, simply listing numerous types of systems that exist puts nobody at risk. Not one person knows which one(s) you have in place, and if you have none you're begging to get your car stolen. This topic has been beaten to death on every single car forum that exists and the list is often very similar. The same forums have described in detail how to defeat all of the factory PassKey/ PassLock systems. Anyone on the street can beat an aftermarket door solenoid if they know how it works, yet most people don't use locks in tandem with them.
If someone is utilizing at least 3 GOOD methods then they're only susceptible to a flatbed tow truck, and there are few things you can do to slow them down. That's because those 3 good methods are: disable the starter, disable the fuel, physically immobilize the car. It doesn't matter how you accomplish those things, just do them. Period. Slowing a truck requires blocking your vehicle with other vehicles or Jersey Barriers, putting it inside a building, or chaining it to something- a fence is meaningless.
I say the fact that we're discussing the topic shows thieves browsing for ways to steal that we're not just gonna let our stuff disappear without a fight. But take it from someone who knows: Thieves create the best anti-theft devices so they know what to try and beat and when to walk away, and they talk shop like everyone else. The morons that butcher things aren't skilled thieves and they're stymied by the simplest things, especially if they're cleverly designed. Until someone posts a way to easily and quietly remove a Steadfast in under 2 minutes I think we'll be fine.
Cue the guy with pit bulls and guns...
