re: worth a read : qtk superior Good comments Galts. The real solution to car theft is killing off the reason to steal a car. Joy riders, forget about them, they will do their 10 minute dash and crash and disappear. Its the professional thefts, for stripping purposes, where the money is made. Tracking devices are one way to counteract, the other way is to use marking technology like Datadot.

In my opinion this is the way to go, as any stolen parts can be identified as belonging to a specific car and tracked back to its source. Under this scenario, car thiefs are defeated before they even steal the car, and their reason for doing so, removed. Prevention rather than cure.
