G0D Dam Fu#king Tweakers- Stole the test mule
So this morning between 3-4 am a f-n drug tweaker used a shaved key and made off with the Workbench/Frankenstein/Test Mule for Rob car.
It is the only car we have without an alarm.
Guess I will be fixing that.
Thankfully the @$$hole parked it where the neighbors called it in to the police and we got it back within the same day.
But he pretty much broke/gutted the interior, did a few minor exterior dings.
Center console and stereo surround are broken.
He stole the stereo, the boost gauge/ and the LM-1 Rob loaned us that he was using for tuning.
Then he syphoned off the gass ( spelling??)
So the car is back home, but with all of the damage, we are reporting it to Insurance to see what they can/will do?
I was expecting it to be stripped, but the dumb @$$ was not a subaru person.
That was the only saving grace.

Re: G0D Dam Fu#king Tweakers- Stole the test mule
This is my nightmare. Shaved keys. Is there no way to make it not open with a shaved key? Seems ridiculous that this is possible.

I've thought about that...where to put it.

Nice. Twice I think I hit that by accident cleaning the door panel and took me a while to figure out why my windows wouldn't roll down.

Re: G0D Dam Fu#king Tweakers- Stole the test mule
The best thing about it is to figure it out yourself. In my GL, I broke the ignition by using the key to me previous GL by accident, so I took the 1st GL's ignition out and located it behind the dash below and to the side of the steering wheel. There was a little pocket there that had a knock out for the, I think, the switch for the 3rd Eye driving/fog light option, but the knock out was the perfect diameter to match the key and nothing else. I left the broken ignition switch in the column. Not that it was a theft risk, but good luck to someone trying to steal it by jimmying the ignition. A purposeful kill switch, I'd locate so that my movements couldn't be detected as something unusual to any kind of observer (so, no awkward reaching under things and such). I like the idea of a bank of switches, labelled as if for something else, that have to be flipped in the correct order to start. They could even be located somewhere visible and easy to access that way. None of that stops them getting in there in the first place, though.

Re: G0D Dam Fu#king Tweakers- Stole the test mule
That suck, Drew. Tweakers are drain on society. Local law enforcement should offer a bounty for their pelts.
After got my stolen wagon back, I wired a stock-appearing switch on the dash, in what was a previously blank spot, to the fuel pump ground. I also though some sort of jumper under the dash for ignition power or fuel pump power would be a good idea. That way it wouldn't start unless the circuit was completed with some sort of jumper wire and not simply a switch.

Yeah it's gotta be quick and easy so it doesn't piss me off on a daily basis but also effective and unnoticeable.

Re: G0D Dam Fu#king Tweakers- Stole the test mule
Dude, I'm sorry, that absolutely sucks. He even stole the fuel? Damn.
For what it's worth, shaved keys are a lot more effective on old locks than on new ones, so one thing that can help is to put new lock cylinders in every once in a while. That's expensive and a pain because you have to rekey them or get new keys too, but it's an option...
I suggested in another thread that hiding a magnetic reed switch behind the coin tray or something would make a switch that was hard to spot but that could be activated just by putting a magnet in the tray. I still like the idea.
If I were really concerned about this, though, I'd probably rig up an immobilizer like the factory puts on newer cars -- put an RFID tag on my key and put together a reader and a microcontroller, and somehow let the microcontroller decide whether the engine will run. Maybe have it interrupt the MAF ground with a transistor, since turbo ECUs won't run without a MAF. It'd be more work, but it'd be completely transparent when you were done and it's unlikely that a thief would understand how to bypass it if there's no relay. You could fit all of it inside the ECU's case if you used an external antenna for the RFID reader.

I like this idea best so far

Re: G0D Dam Fu#king Tweakers- Stole the test mule
I am going to go with a car alarm.
I put a clifford on the other SS and It is nice having the car lock and unlock by a button.
I like the magnetic switch idea, and if i was not going to do an alarm, then that would be my choice.
The guy is lucky I did not catch him.
Being a car guy, stealing my car is pretty high on the list to get your knee caps broken.

Just remember not to keep the magnet in the same pocket as a debit/credit/rebate card.

Re: G0D Dam Fu#king Tweakers- Stole the test mule
I want to do an RFID type thing with my Link on top of the alarm. There's an input for security which turns off fuel & ignition outputs when enabled. I just need to find an RFID setup that will work.vrg3 wrote:If I were really concerned about this, though, I'd probably rig up an immobilizer like the factory puts on newer cars -- put an RFID tag on my key and put together a reader and a microcontroller, and somehow let the microcontroller decide whether the engine will run.

Honestly....if you know what your doing alarms aren't overly affective for a determined thief. They do help for the would-be theifs.
