what would a be a cool alarm is if u put pressure sensors in the seats, so when the guy sits down, the seat slides forward, trapping him, then it starts to fold down and crush the bugger ;)

A long time ago, a friend of mine had a BMW 320 and kids kept stealing the emblems of the car at her house. And she could not afford to keep replacing them, so I wired a large capacitor to one side of an isolated plate, and one to another, when the kids came to steal it next time there was a partily melted screw driver wedged between the two plates, Lets just say she did not loose anymore emblems after that.

How about the theft deterrent system from
Robocop, the one that electrocutes the thief
then you just roll the smoking carcass out onto
the driveway  >:(


8) Good idea.

While in Panama, Bob had 2 stereos stolen. For the 3rd, he wired 4 herking capacitors and a momentary switch up.

He said it fried the stereo, but the thief never came back.  ;D

I wish I knew how to wire one up.

My fence (6' high) was being jumped by local kids. According to code, you can't make the fence top harmful... but it was legal to put carpet tack strip on top of it to "keep possoms off." It was quite a surprise for a certain teenager, too.

Your idea made me think... a piece of plywood w/ carpet tack strip on top. (I already have a cotton sheet over the passenger seat, so it wouldn't show.)

Hmm... I still have tack strip in the garage.

sorry to hear that. it's one of my fears with my soft top, that's why i'm thinking of buying a bestop hard top later this year. about $2000 canadian, but i think it'll be worth it in the long run.


There's a Canadian company called http://www.cartops.com that I heard about from a local off-road shop. They're in the Okanogan somewhere. Right now its $900 for a Samurai HT (I'll be buying one later this summer).

Cameras: get the hunting type with flash. These cameras are used by hunters to shoot pictures of the paths the animals take. They are battery run and batteries will last a week. There will be a flash, so encase the camera to protect it, or raise it high in the air. To add, these cameras are digital, provide a date/time stamp, and are motion-detected activated.

Simple enough.

At the ORV park, we have several setup. We have more containers than cameras. Once the fense destroyers saw that they were being pictured, they haven't come back. Though they now do take pop shots with their guns. Thus the use of extra containers to protect the cameras. I think the sheriff has a good lead onto the perpetrators as we haven't had any incidents since last summer.

i checked there website out, but they only show one piece tops for trackers. i e-mailed them inquiring about a two piece but no reply.

no reply = no sale

there is some guy in town who advertises tracker top in the buy&sell for $895 i contacted him through e-mail to send some pics. he did but the fit and finish leaves something to be desired. i'm not a cheap bastard i prefer quality products, and will spend more to get it that's why i'm thinking bestops. it costs twice as much but it's of a higher quality, and you get what you pay for.
