damn....stop carrying gold bars in your back seat!

seriously though, what type of question is this? obviously, park in a different spot, get an alarm, and possibly a glock.

solex locks and an alarm and possibly the club.

All of above + GPS tracker.

Deadly poisoness snakes FTW. Downside: snake may attack while car is being driven.

Seriously, get an good alarm system.

A Glock 21 with 230 grain JHPs (I use federal hydra-shok or speer gold dot) and/or a boomstick (12 gauge shotgun).

What part of sacto you live in? Oak Park, G Parkway, Center Parkway, Meadowview aka Ghettoview?

Stolen that many times and you've always gotten it back?!? How are they getting it started? If you don't heed the obvious advice here and get an alarm (and/or snakes) then hide a kill switch somewhere under the dash so even if they get inside, it can't be started, unless they find the switch.

On a side note, I did get a question answered here myself. I now know what a "boomstick" is. I've wondered that ever since I've seen Tommy's avatar sig.

Wow, stupid thieves for sure. Around here, the thieves are all about stealing swapped Hondas and turbo Supras... I have nothing to worry about.

I could see an old Camry getting jacked in Flint, although a LeSabre would be more likely.

I think we all have something to worry about...when I first bought my Camry (4 years ago) it was in the top five stolen cars in Canada. I haven't checked-into the latest stats, but there are so many of these cars around that parts are golden...

Probably more of the older models since they have high resale value and are easier to steal (there's a limited number of key combinations for gen1-2, i think; i know my key opens and starts several camrys around here).

Wow...3~4 times? I'm suprise it's still in one piece...

Do you happen to have a Stereo system in there without stocker covers? Your car seems to be a gold mine
