Suppose a thief switches out your ECU with a stock one

A switch that shorts the fuel pump to ground so that if power is applied the duse fuse will blow. Even if your switch is discovered they will have to replace the fuse.
Trigger this switch as a latched output from your alarm. If you have a more advanced alarm you can have this output activated by by arming the alarm but not deactivated by disarming the alarm. Deactivation will occur by triggering one of your aux channels via your remote. Even if they get a hold of your key and remote the vehicle is still disabled. Layers are key. I don't subscribe to that whole if they want it they will take it. Thats BS
Also im a huge fan of cliffords intelliguard alarms. The blackjax and proximity are great features.

If they want it they will get it period.Any thief likes a easy target and some of them are as follows:
1) No alarms or security protection.
2) Your car is parked in the open at nights.
3) Going to big events or the mall where there are lot of cars and a big open parking lot.
4) If you do have security features keep them to your self dont tell every one what you have.
5) Going to Meets and showing off whats under the hood.
6) Lending out your precious EVO to your friends.
Preventative measures you can take:
1a) Get a alarm and put the alarm LED somewhere that is very visible from outside the car.
1b) Make sure the alarm have shock sensor so if someone bounce it the horn\siren will go off.
2a) Its good to relocate your battery in the trunk because a thief can go underneath your EVO and cut your battery cable and there you go alarm disabled.
2b) Run your battery power cable with a black sleeve over it just like the rest of OEM wires so its harder for a thief to find it.
3a) If you have a garage use it! don't be lazy and leave your EVO out side you might come out and find it gone the next day.
3b) A gated community is great to have because a thief will trail you and see whats your time schedule and pick a time thats convenient for him.
4a) Dont go around telling everyone what type of alarm/security features you have because they all have there weakness and a thief knows where to find it.
4b) Do not go to meets and pop your hood open and give everyone a detailed description of whats under it because you will surely spark a thief interest and he will stop at nothing to get your EVO +$ investments.
5a) Do not lend out your EVO to a friend they might have malicious intent and could find a way to disable your alarm for easy access with out you noticing.
5b) Buy yourself a Ravelco Anti-Theft Device.It can work in conjunction with your current alarm and each one is not made in the same sequence so its almost impossible to replicate and they have been around since the 70s with not a single defeat to this day.They go for $65 on eBay and is worth every penny,here is the link http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-RAVELCO-Car-Anti-Theft-Device-Security-Bypass-w-instructions-Antitheft-club-/230996092076?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35c870a4ac&vxp=mtr6) Last but not least,fear the flatbed thats the only thing you cannot stop and did I say its legal for them to carry cars so no one will ever pay attention to a tow truck carrying a EVO unless you notice its......yours!

A kill switch will stop 90% of the punks out there. It's the last 10% that you have to guard against. For that park in safe areas and know the neighborhoods your going into.

Well maybe investing that 15k into a garage would of been a wiser choice. Or better yet, a house that is located in a nicer neighborhood, where the crime rates are lower. My German Shepard, my Glock 23, a spot light and a camera outside of my house are all the security my family and my car needs. Not trying to sound like a dick, just trying to give a little advice. It seems when you worry about something too much, negative things tend to happen. Someone posted earlier in this thread that if a thief really wants your car, they are going to have it, and they are 110% correct. A secure garage or a nicer neighborhood will decrease the chances of your car being stolen a lot more than wasting your money installing a few anti theft gadgets.

It would make more sense if this was an open statement to the thread and to everyone asking, but you quoted me.
This is why some of us barely post

[QUOTE=Migsubishi;10873191]No one said I didn't have a garage or an alarm, you completely missed the entire point of what I said. You don't sound like a dick, you just sound like your very over opinionated and quick run off on anything to get your own point across with an extreme lack of comprehension.
It would make more sense if this was an open statement to the thread and to everyone asking, but you quoted me.

I did quote you but I wasn't just directing it to you. I grew up in Baltimore City, not only is the crime rate super high but it is not uncommon to wake up in the morning, walk outside, and notice your vehicle is missing. Thankfully, I had my priorities straight and instead of buying a fancy car, I decided to save up for a house and get the hell out of that ****hole. It just makes me chuckle a little bit, when I see post after post on this forum about cars being stolen , from people living in high crime areas like Chicago, for example. They tend to blame it on some "underground evo chop shop gang" that scope the forums and run license plates, when in reality, its just the fact that they live in ghetto with crackheads and thug punks. Instead of wasting your money on car alarms and going through the trouble of unhooking a bunch of wires every time you park your vehicle, it may be time to find a new place to call home. I can't even remember the last time I locked my car, and most of the time I leave the car running when I have something to pick up at the store. I don't even know why I am rambling on about this, but the point I am trying to make is that if you have to worry about your car being stolen, it is time to find a new place to live. If you decide to live in the ghetto, and you drive an evo, expect it to be stolen.
Like I said, I am not necessarily directing this towards you, I am just responding to your post, and giving in my 2 cents.

I used to know unscrupulous people and they would look in areas like the one you describe to commit crimes because of there false sense of security.
I live in Mayberry and i'm still vigilant.

In NJ news a woman whom lives in a very very nice area. Home was invaded she was beat down badly and robbed all caught on cam. Might of made national news. Obviously statistics show less crime in nicer nieghborhoods but nothing is guaranteed. False sense of security is when your most vulnerable and you're possesions are at risk.

Smart thieves dont rob other people in the hood....they are broke just like them......they go to nice areas to rob people, because they leave their doors open and think nothing will happen in the their nice area.
