Re: [Chrysler300] to all: security of vehicles

["Gary Barker" <gbarker@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Warren I saw a story in one of my Mopar Magazines about a man who was afraid someone would steal his Hemi Cuda.   He took a large metal brace and cemented it in the ground under the car.  Then took a very large chain, and I mean a very large chain That went from the Brace  to the rear housing.  I don't remember how he secured the chain , But it would take a Bulldozer to get the car and the car would be junk.

                                                                 Gary Barker

I have a security system, monitored 24/7 off site. My shop is the only facility in the area that has not been the victim of intruders. Neighbors do not have security systems. Our system is very intentionally, very simple; no frills. 

Our security system includes fire monitoring.

Our system was installed 20 years ago when we built the building. It is hard wired. There are now wireless systems. These, I know nothing about. Our current system replaced the first system due to age. 

Reliability without false alarms is important. Our first system got me out at 3 AM so many times. This system is a professional product installed by my own hand and has been trouble free now about 16 months. Not a record as I had reworked the old system. Point is, system installer and the equipment quality are very important.

My "garage" is not the standard wooden or metal enclosure that is tamper proof. 
It is shaped like the old Qounset hut, With mandrel aluminum frame, and heavy 
duty re-inforced synthetic membrane.

At some unspecified time, while I am still on a "away project" from the house, 
my enclosure was vandalized in Alexandria, Va.

The outer membrane was cut horizontally to allow the transgressors entry 
inside. My folks at home have assured me that the K 4spd was not vandalized, 
and nothing appears to be missing.

I will return Sunday to file a report with the local Men in Blue.

So I ask you my fellow brothers in old iron, outside of removing all tires and 
setting the Brute on it's lowest level, what can be done.?

I am not able to hire the Contractor to build a stable garage without tapping a 
retirement fund.

I still contract my services away from the house. Chain it to the concrete? 
Get LO-JAC,

The area was advised that the Illegals were caught breaking into building, 
sheds, garages to spirit away hand and power tools.

Since they found neither, they/them sliceed a $500 panel, this enclosure was 
imported from Canada. Perhaps I should rent an enclosure from a storage space, 
and have th K get kennel cough. beside myself, the mirror 
image is scary.
I need some suggestions, in a 
safe way

thanks, 300K-ly for now, Dave 
in humid Va
