Agreed value policy with Haggerty.

 

Sure thats nice but it wouldnt be the same... every car is special in its own right, and its hard to put value on that. I live in a great neighborhood and its garaged like Haggerty likes, but there is always some nut out there who cant be happy with you having nice things...

Just take your car apart and leave it on jackstands for a couple of years.  It will always be there when you are looking for it.  Anybody coming to steal my car will need to bring tools and a tow truck.

Sad to say, not as effective as you would think.

Went in the back to grab a fuse box, only to find it missing! Some bastard jumped the fence to swipe my 69 510 fuse box!

 

Several months later, (after buying a new box for the other car) I go poking around and there sits the fuse box on the cowling! Apparently it didn't fit, so the thieving bastards knowing how hard it is to get one....brought it back!

 

Still doesn't change the fact I would have shot them stealing it, OR bringing it back!

the first thing you want to deal with is LIMITING easy access, to the car, obviously a fenced yard with a  securely locked gate, and a locked garage if possiable is a good start.

if you have motion lighting and video cameras it helps, these need not be hugely expensive and if your mechanically inclined setting up an alarm systems not that difficult.

parking a unused car in front of a garage add some difficulty to easy access.

you want to thin thru motion activated lighting and if possiable have video survailance and monitored alarms

next you want some mothion and contact alarms on both the garge and the shop access.

simple things like a pad lock in the garage door frame to prevent it being opened if you intend on being away for a few days or having a trusted relletive stay at your home helps, large dogs , especially ones that are not overly freindly to visitors might be an option. in your  fenced yard.
