Hi Keith: Any picture?
Orbiter: How to set the trunk to velet mode?

Actually, which way is better: disable the trunk lock from inside or outside? Or neither?

Hey,
Pics, sorry i dont have any. Just open your trunk and look from the inside where the lock is. When u find that you will see the little bar, just pull it up and it should come out.
The reason why I did this is because, my friends car got broken into and he had the same type of lock we do. All they did was take a screw driver, put it in the key hole, and hit it. The lock pops out and all u have to do is turn the lock with your hand and the door/trunk unlocks. Not cool when u have alot of audio stuff in there. Give it a try

pop the trunk, and on the latch, theirs a little lever. Give it a flick. It won't open from the latch on the inside.

Get about 5 trunk monkeys and put'em on steroids!

Anyway...I would have to agree with the rest of the people in this thread that mentioned getting alarms and a garage. There are only so many things you can do of course. I've heard stories of people's cars being locked in a locked garage with the alarm on and still get broken into. When I had my Celica someone tried to break into it in broad daylight (2pm) at a movie theater. Alarm scared them off. But I suppose there is no stopping professionals. Try and get the best insurance you can afford. May cost you more but would give you more peace of mind.

HAHAHA!! that's funny as hell!

I never thought about the paintball/jawbreakers. It's makes me want to get a paintball gun and shoot my brother's gang-banging friends.

At least if your out on the hunt you can always eat your ammo.

And jawbreakers are cheaper than paintballs anyway. I always like the electrified driver's seat in Robocop II. I wonder if Recaro make one?

Carry 4 huge guard dogs tying one to each rim when you leave the car oh and don't feed them so that they are always really p!ssed and want to kill anyone who comes near the car.
Only problem is where are 4 dogs going to fit in the car?

Has anybody seen the "Barrier Deadlock" device seen on the SIDC advertising/discounts page ( http://www.sidc.co.uk/ ). Does anybody know how effective they are? Is something like it available in the US?

I had a friend who used to hook up some type of electrical generator to the frame of his Camaro. I don't know exactly how he did it, but if you touched the car while it was turned on you would receive a very strong shock. He used an infrared remote to turn the system on and off. He was an electrical engineer and built the system himself. He was very pissed at the time because he had had the car broken into four times in a year. He didn't have anymore problems after that.
