M5 Additional Security
Due to a spate of thefts of hi spec cars, I have just had an Autowatch Ghost fitted to the M5 today.
What additional security do you have on your car? |

I just swing it back into a rear footwell if no ones in the back.I had a classic TR6 sports car not long ago and that came with an original Krooklok where the steering wheel and brake pedal were secured by a long metal hooped bar but a good whack with a heavy hammer would render it useless.

Trackstar
I have a Trackstar Tracker fitted.
The model I have requires a fob or “pebble” to be in the region of the driver seat at start up. Without it, I get a phone call once the car has travelled more than about 300 yards to check everything is ok. Love the service. Also provides historical record of the cars journeys and speeds....(less good in some cases but interesting viewing if the car has been in for work and they “road tested” it...

Might sound like a really silly question guys so pardon me if i speak out of turn ..... but if there is a run of thefts involving hi-spec and high end cars, do we really want to be posting on a public forum what additional security we have fitted to our cars? just means the thieving little scum can read on here what we have and know what to look for or get round and make taking our cars even easier??

I think the Autowatch Ghost is the best way to go. Even if they get the keys the car still wont start
