Repeated breaking into - any ideas?

[valerit1]

My car has been broken into several times lately - always through
breaking the lock in the door handle or making a hole under the door handle and/or prying the door handle itself. Seems to be
a favorite way/weak spot for our cars. My drivers door in all broken around the handle. Any experience of fixing/prevention
of this?
Thanks!

Nothing (well, except for a few quarters) is in the car - so they got nothing except the change, but keep breaking in... the end result is the car is vandalized (drivers door with holes literally...I had to replace the lock, the handle, torn metal around it!) The car is 87 LXi, 124,XXX, everything old, unwashed, no mods or anything of value whatsoever - what the hell? I do not have an alarm as nobody pays attention to it this days, but the car is thoroughly disabled so stealing it (starting) itself would be difficult. I live in Las Vegas.


:wtf:

[valerit1]

Also, I am going to put a club across the steering wheel just
as a visual warning - but I am afraid I will end up with
my steering wheel vandalized as well....

1.) Get a camera mounted outside looking directly at the car-- this doesnt cost much at all. 2.) Get a car alarm 3.) Sit out on your front steps with a shotgun.

[Cmac-19]

hell yea, hid in a bush or sumthin when the person comes up to your car, kick his ass.....or hit upside the head with a bat, just my input :)......or u could always just get a camera.....but itd take all the fun outa beatin his ass

Do you live in the ghetto? Maybe u have junkies in your area!! The only think I can think baout!!

[1987HondaAccord]

maybe they try to steel the car but cant start it...

[netfreak]

Shave the door handles and use remote locks. Confuse the hell out of them

[meohmy01]

when my alarm goes off it pages me. i was going to get the really fancy alarm with the camara that shows up on your key chain but i think that would have been a little over board (that and im poor). it also is the alarm from hell. 2 decent sized horns under the hood, shock sensors, ignition disabler, and back up power supply. my car was stolen so i got a little carried away.

[MrBen]

I'm selling mine if anyone wants it. Three sirens, ignition killer, shock sensor, radar sensor, remote. Alpine!

[johndej]

just set up a camera out your window at it. you can sue the hell out of anyone you find messing w/ it.

[MrBen]

Or you could follow him home and then break into his car using the exact same method.

just hook up 10,000 volts of electricity to the door handle, they'll never get near your car again...

sorry bout the double post

[MrBen]

Well the door handle wont conduct it but the car sure will!

[slammedLXI]

my cars handle is messed up too... any key can open it...

[meohmy01]

someone popped the handles on my 88 to rip off the stereo. the locks have'nt been the same since. the keys work and everything but you close the door and it locks them and stuff because everything inside is all bent. i haven't put an alarm on this one yet.

[Coitis1]

i say go w/ the bush method. wait outside one night behind a bush, then when u see someone trying to jack ur sh*t, jump out and bash his head in. i would say it has to be someone that you know, cuz why the hell would someone repeately break into an old accord that doesnt run? or u could leave it unlocked, so that way ur door won't get messed up.

[Blue Impact]

I'd say leave your doors unlocked, set up some syringes that are infected with some sort of virus onto the seats, then that thief would get more than what he bargained for. I know this is evil, but people need to learn their lessons sometimes.

[MrBen]

Blue Impact......

That is very funny! :D

[mindlos]

I never used to lock my older 3gee that had nothing to steal, including the car, plus it was free + some fixin. Why bother fixin windows and machanical damage on a car thats not worth it? When I got my current one I put in a stereo and an alarm within a week, and it wasn't just the stereo I was protecting.

[rehv_Aerodeck86]

i haven't got a single lock that works :D , when it belonged to the previous owner, some junkies fucked up all of them, so there's just a hole instead of the lock - try to pick it :tongue:
actually it'd be smart to eliminate the hole, weld some kinda metal plate behind the handle, so they cant mess with the central lock motor (?). I've had keyless entrance for about 1.5 years; no need for that yet. Think only way to get in is to scan the alarm remote frequency or just to break the window

suprising picker: mount a accel-powered spark plug behind the lock: when somebody comes to pick it: voila - ignition :flipa:

[MrBen]

LOL :lol

[AccordEpicenter]

[Pister]

Hiding in a bush won't help, hehe, you'll spend quite a few sleepless nights when they don't show. Cameras are a joke too, ya know how slim the odds are figuring out who someone is based on the camera footage? Slim, unless it's someone you know. You need a big black guy named Ben:

Hehe.

[bambamky]

1. try investing in a shaved door handle kit 2. get a car alarm 3. get a camera 4. MOVE(lol)
dont feel bad I had it done to me I called the cops and then it stopped!

[95AccordEXR]

if there is nothing in your car then just leave it unlocked. If u are worried about theft then pull the plug wires out at night or something similar.

[AccordEpicenter]

well if you cant find a big black guy named ben, I would still hide out in the bush, but instead of bashing their head in when they touch ur car, id just run out and get in their face like black hater style, and shove my GLOCK in the MOFOS mouth...

[Senate SE-i]

Sounds like it is the same person. My friend had his civic broken into, so he waited for at least three days by the window with a paint gun. I would do the same, but I would use something a little more painful.

[Janiel]

You know theres no need to break anything. the windows can be poped out very easy. All you need to do is pull the black tab off bend the melal thing and just pop the window off. Its that easy.

[Andrew]

Take all valuables out of the car and leave it unlocked. I had the same problem and this is what I did, eventually they gave up and stopped breaking into the car.
