Need ideas to prevent theft of my C6. Disable switch, battery disconnect, steering wheel "club" or what other preventative measures do you suggest? If you don't want to share your secret measures since this is a public forum, please PM me. I won't tell anyone.

 

Good insurance and forget about it.

 

If it is stolen, chance’s are that it’s going to be drug up on a flatbed anyway. About all you can do is have insurance. Actually, there are many other cars out there that are more profitable to steal.

 

google the videos of tow trucks stealing cars in less than a minute by towing them away...you will give up before you begin

 

Problem is that most insurance companies will not pay out enough money to replace your car. That is, no matter if your car is in pristine condition they will pay only enough to buy a car at wholesale price according to book value.

Ask me how I know!!

12 gauge 18" shotgun and a good 45acp handgun will help you. It does for me down here in Texas.

 

Do you have a particular reason you are worried about your car? Not many people looking to steal 10 year old Corvettes.
Take a look at most stolen car lists on line. Corvettes are not on them. Pick up trucks, Accords and Camrys need to worry. Not guys with old Corvettes.

 

 

If a thief wants your car they will get it no matter what you do. It’s kinda like locking the glove box or console. All that does is give a thief reason to believe there is something of value and they tear up your car for nothing.

 

This. I used to do impounds with a wrecker and could get a car out of a crowded parking lot in <1 minute. Just carry full coverage and be aware of where you park.

 

This, since unless they have a Fob that is programmed to the car, it's not going to be started and driven away. (why most that are stolen are flat bedded away).
Note, the reason when you do get a used vet, you have all the Fobs in the RCDLR erased, and only the fobs you have in hand programmed back to the RCDLR. unless you still have payments on the car from some shady car dealer, make sure that is doe not have tracking/ignition kill devices on it as well.

Really, the better option is to have a place that you park it to keep it out of the public hands (home garage), since its more likely to be vandalized and damaged from some low life, then someone breaking into it to steal something from it instead. If the game plan is to park it on the street, or in the open like a car park that is not secure over night, then your just asking for vandalized problems to start with.

And the pisser, when someone does vandalize the car, make sure you have full coverage insurance on the car, since it does not take much damage to one before the insurance company just rights it off as totaled isntead.
