Max almost stolen!!!

The other night I was in bed. I have a cold now so falling asleep was hard enough. Then at about 3:15 am I hear a car alarm... It was my max calling me so I jump out of bed find my shorts and run out 1/2 a$$ naked to see WTF! Luckly she was ok and no broken glass or anything. Sorry but I needed to vent my pain, hard to think about loosing a loved one you know!

So you ran outside half naked and saw nothing? Maybe a cat jumped on it or someone just driving by could've set it off

no there was no car I would have heard that I live on a very small and quite street, and the doors where unlocked when I got outside and they were not like that when I went to sleep. It is time to upgrade security..... Smith & Weson.

My Max has two alarms in can be annoying sometimes but if it keeps my ish for being stolen its all good i have the factory alarm and a custom alarm put in by my pops if you dont have the remote dont think about driving the car and the switch to turn the alarms off are disconnected if without the remote the car wont start at all try cutting the alarm cables the car still wont startand if i lose the remote im out of luck. had to walk 4 miles to a store one day cause i had no cash to take the bus because the remote battery died.

Always keep spare batt in the glove or center consol. I have 2 alarms w/ prox sensor's and a tilt sensor so you can steal it and you can't tow it or try and steal my rims I also have the clutch Club just incase on of the installers who put all my stuff in gets a funny feeling can never be to safe now a days you know

Last week, someone tried to steal my friends car and when he came outside to see what was happening, he saw a bunch of kids trying to use a slim-jim on the car. They told him that he should go back inside so he did only to come back out with a loaded DE .50.... Those kids wont be coming back agian any time in their lifetime.

its a good thing my max sleeps in a garage. knock on wood its impossible yo steal my baby

1) i got the autoloc club (the one that hooks up under the brake)
2) alarm
3) park in garage
4) and even then if i leave the keys in the car, its not gonna go anywhere cuz my moms car is parked right infront of it and neighbor cars surrounding the max.

chalk one up for living in an apartment

autoloc... what a joke! I saw a 5 speed max get stolen and stripped a few blocks from my house with the autoloc on. You dont need a brake pedal, if you have an auto you can just use the hand brake... same with a 5 speed or slow down with the tranny... the one I saw was a 5 speed, whoever did it drove it there, the car wasnt from the area.

some guy i know had his alarm set off twice every damn night for about 2 weeks and he was then looking at the car every now and then (decided to spend a night awaken) and nothing happened then the day after it started again and he was so ****ed off one night after it was set off that he didn't turn it on but parked somewhere else and that person who set it off so often broke in and stole the audio and CDs. that kind of moron sucks

your right about that... Hand cannon is a true statement. Ever tried to fire that thing?? I dont know what has more of a kick, that or a 12 gauge slug. The only problem is that i think they are illegal to have but im not sure.

Its not the guns that the real problem its the people who use them. Some go hunting and others kill people for one of a million wrong reasons.
