It's become so common place that it doesn't mean anything - people just walk on by, trying to get away from the noise or worse, ask the guy if he needs any help??

    Also crazy is someone asking a guy or gal to post up all of the nitty gritty details on how they protect their stuff on a public forum, including wiring diagrams, fit & function..... hellooooooo, do you think that the thieves can't read??
    The thieves "can" read,,,but don't you think they already know all this,,,,,,,or is all all "super secret,scientific,ultra modern new stuff",,,,come on,,,be real,,,I was just asking a question!
    NICE GUYS FINISH FIRST.....

    No, they don't know how my car is wired, or what features I dreamed up to disable things instead of buying some off the shelf, POS "security" system. The point is that if you're building your own ride you build in your own protection, and someone asking what you did, in detail is like someone asking you if they can borrow the spare key to your Porsche, and you being dumb enough to give it to them thinking they're just admiring your car. Not saying you were asking for details, just saying..... Bottom line, if the thief wants your car he'll get it, given enough time.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
