A born Texan has instilled in his system a mind-set of no retreat or no surrender. I wish everyone the world over had the dominating spirit that motivates Texans.– Billy Clayton, Speaker of the Texas House
No state commands such fierce pride and loyalty. Lesser mortals are pitied for their misfortune in not being born in Texas.— Queen Elizabeth II on her visit to Texas in May, 1991.

zebrazapperThats bizarre logic. Every day i toss my billfold on my kitchen counter at the end of the day. If a guest steals it, its my fault for having it there? This is like the stupid argument when a woman is assaulted that the way she was dressed she was asking for it. Maybe just some people were not raised right.

BushPeterThere are devices on the black market now for about $15k which let you open and start any vehicle of certain manufacturers. No key needs to be near. They scan for a signal (the signal which usually communicates with the key) and can respond in a way the car thinks it's a key.

Thomas "Ty" BeahamI have a client who was rear-ended.
The person who ran into him told the responding law enforcement officer that she was eating a taco, and the taco broke and distracted her. She told the officer it was clearly the taco's fault.
True story.

ANTELOPEDUNDEEI guess buy a vehicle from near the bottom of the most stolen list or one not even on the list. Sadly, once it's out of your sight it's fair game for thieves. And that's the way it is.
Give me a home where the buffalo roam and I'll show you a house full of buffalo shit.

gsganzerI installed a Ravelco kill switch plug on my work F250. There are simpler kill switches, but not all are eligible for an insurance discount.
Ravelco Anto-theft Of course, they can always show up with a flatbed and just haul it off, but at least I've added another layer of hassle.
A simple steering wheel "club" is also fairly effective.

They also sell scanners to detect GPS emissions and GPS jammers to neutralize those emissions.

JefffiveSeems it's a known issue with models from a couple of manufacturers that allows them to be started with a cell phone charger, but let's stoke outrage at the official trying to make them do better.

Yeah, the shit you hear is amazing. I bet that case got settled pretty quick.

lavacaOn an old car I used to have, I had a button on the floorboard, under the mat that had to be depressed to engage the starter. I thought that was pretty cool, but these days, I think my next car will just be standard transmission. This generation can't drive them!
I learned to drive three on the tree at age 9.
