If they could you would think the auto industry would have already done so. The idea is good though.

I saw a cool secondary alarm trick with the push-in vehicle cig lighter. Besides a normal alarm system, a heavy duty click-on/click-off switch was mounted and wired into the back of the cigarette lighter housing. That switch was then wired in-line of some obscure, but critical function near the fuse box, like fuel pump or ignition/ground wires that will disable the vehicle if they get past the alarm and manage to get to the point where the car could normally be started.

Something like a small hidden perko switch or pullable fuse type very heavy connector (battery cable size) that you could use to switch the ground going directly to the starter motor on/off I want to see them get it then.

Of course, gotta account for wire size/length and use good connections so you don't overload or burn nothing down, but seems like a good poor-mans dead switch.

I wish it was legal to rig your car to kill someone when they break in. Something like a remotely activated shotgun blast from where the steering wheel airbag should be

Looks like we are going to have to start doing what they do in all the 3rd world countries I used to travel to.

Before you leave your vehicle, reach down get one of the heavy duty steering wheel locks, install it and then be about your business.

And the sad thing is, this s%$#t is going to continue as long as we pussyfoot around with the criminal element.

Change the laws that stealing a vehicle of any kind is a mandatory 5-10 in prison and watch the rate for stolen vihicles go down.

where did you get this?

Everyone,

I think it is time that we all make one phone call to Bass Pro Shops corporate office. I know that we can't really do anything about the items that have been damage or stolen from are friends on the TFF. But, if we all make one phone and make one simple statement that thier customers are going to pass the word that Bass Pro Shop does not have respect for their patrons. OK! I get it they don't own the parking lot. I really feel they have a duty to make sure that we are safe. If you need an example look at walmart and all law suits that have happened because of what has happen in parking lots. If the local store management is not taking action then maybe they just need alittle help to let them know that the customers have a true concern. Make the Call!!

You can also email us at basspro@custhelp.com. The email will then be forwarded to our Retail Administration department for research and review.

Had the local PD do this for me when our Tahoe was broken into in Shenanigans parking lot and they got our garage opener. They were by every couple of hours for several days. We had just moved back to TX from OH and had only been in the house for a few days so everything was still packed and ready for easy carry out if they had broke in. Luckily they never did and just cost a new driver window and Garmin GPS. Keep your head up Marc and I will be looking out for your truck.

I want to say that my truck could have been stolen from any lot even the gas station on the corner for that matter.The only other thing I can say is that if the thief's know there are cameras they usually move on somewhere else to conduct there business. I am not blaming anyone, I am just informing the public of what has happend to me at the location it happend and asking for any help locating my truck or the thiefs that were involed so we can put a stop to this.So lets not get this twisted around to be more than it is. I will still shop at BPS.Thanks for all the comments and thoughts.

Marc you might want to get a couple of those driveway alarms and set up clost to your house. I have one on the carport I have my boat on and they work. Last spring a little after midnight the alarm went off in our bedroom I grabbed my 12ga double and went out the door just as a car was leaving my drive. I cut both barrels off at once and put 21 holes in the back of the car. When the deputies got here they both shook my hand and thanked me. The scumbags got away but I sure haven't had any more problrms. Best $15 I ever spent.

Sounds like they are stealing trucks that do not have onstar or gps locating systems. So, per the castle law, you can shoot them if you catch them stealing your truck? Who needs onstar or a gps tracking system, let's plant a truck up there and wait on them to take it...

Marc, I hate this. I was out there about 6 pm on Saturday 12th, I did see two Garland Police cruisers in the parking.

COOL...

Marc, sorry to hear of your troubles. I have a 2003 Diesel you can use until you get your situation corrected.

Just make an alarm that connects the door handles to the battery. Works just like an electric fence.

(Would be really funny but I'm well aware you can't do this)

Having worked there for 2 1/2 years, break-ins were/are common. I think someone is watching from the apartments and knows when the parking lot is clear of customer traffic. Police patrols pick up for awhile but I don't believe they catch anyone. Bart
