If i ever caught the bloke that knocked off our XY, id happily stab him in the head!

Apparently South Africans are allowed to install flame throwers that are activated via a foot button. It is the car jacking capital of the world!

Can I buy one at any reputable parts shop?
Car thieves should have their right foot cut off, and their left one for a second offence.

That was very good.

I especially enjoyed the part where the thief died.

Years ago, I sold a few car alarm systems with home style piezo sirens INSIDE the cab of the car. We had a particular customer who insisted on 2 Lead Acid sealed batteries inside his car, running 3 of the piezo sirens. No matter what, if you broke in, you couldnt take your fingers out of your ears to steal the stereo.

Worked a treat !

I remember ages ago, someone came up with the idea for a car alarm were if the car is being broken into, a wheel will fall off.

Did anyone ever see footage of the FlameThrower alarm ? It would detect a attempted theft and shoot flames from under the sills and ignite the thief. :SaiyanSmi True i actually saw it on a TV show.

Personally I'm a big fan of "man-traps" like pneumatic spikes that impale thieves through the seat and flamethrowers that incinerate them etc but unfortunately 'man trap' devices are illegal (pity)...

I remember seeing that on the news or something years and years ago. I think it was developed in South Africa.

The Anti theft device in one of the Naked Gun movies comes to mind. Someone tries to steal the car and out comes a mechanical arm with a metal clamp that latches onto their nuts haha !
