Re: making boat thief proof

Something I saw once;<br />the fella' had a piece of vacuum line with caps on it to look like a coil wire. He replaced that with the real one when the boat sat where it could be started and taken away. I thought it was a good idea. You can hotwire a boat fairly easily so even a hidden ignition switch wouldn't help.

Re: making boat thief proof

I agree about looking into storage. I was born and raised in oakland and I can tell you you'll never get away from the petty thieves who'll rip your boat inside and out to get a five dollar item off your boat. My sister in laws car was broken into recently. They smashed the side window to steal a cheap cd holder. Pathetic. And most of them are prety stupid, so you never know what the fools might think are valuable.<br /><br /> And in california, if you rig your property to injure potential thieves your probably setting your self up for criminal charges and a civil lawsuit. I realize most the posts about that were in jest, but keep it in mind.

Best idea yet: move to Nevada, lots of jobs and cheap housing.
