Post #1
I'm heading back up to Newcastle for Uni tomorrow and am a bit worried about the Rallye being up there. I don't live in the greatest of areas and I'd rather not have the car stolen!The car's already got the upgraded Peugeot-fitted alarm with sensors pointing directly at the windows but I was thinking a steering wheel lock might be an additional deterrent. Looking to spend about £40. ________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |

I just think that if someone is looking for a car to steal, they will generally go for the easiest one to take unless they are looking for a particular model. If yours has a steering lock and the car next door doesn't, 9 times out of 10 it'll be his one they go for.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

I used to know a car theif, was quite good to. He always said the best way to protect older cars is to super glue razor blades on the inside lip of the door at the top. Then when a theifing bugger tries to pull the top of the door out, they will slice there fingers up. Oh the bonus side you have the dna to so you can report them.
