Well done. The cops didn't like me having a video of my neighbour's place when thieves were there. My neighbour gave me the cameras to put up.

Seeing that just made my day jsbike, well done! :) I love seeing dickheads get their comeuppance. Hey did the cops hand the car back over right away or did they have to impound it to go through the usual red tape!

Every car should have one, subsidised by the insurance companies. Would cut thefts by 90%. Good job.

Steal my car and see what happens to you. The justice system is a joke, The guys probably sitting back at home right now thinking of what next to steal.

All that would happen then would be that 'common' thieves would learn how to get around them

Don't you feel sorry for the guy in that house! After a successful night finding a nice car for Xmas, he's having a sleep in. Then the horn on the car goes continuously and someone is banging on his front door.

I think anger is perfectly justified when some thieving scrote makes off with someting you have worked for. I would happily snap every finger of a thief, one after the other, while telling them the error of their ways.

has stuffed door locks, smashed side window, smashed ignition and stolen kids car seat. All good though, rang insurance, they are waving the excess (go fintel) and will forward the bill to their debt collections, who will try to recover it all from those involved in the car being stolen. If you need a hand with instal, give me a yell!

It's an interesting point to ponder. How could they get around a GPS tracking system, I wonder. Unless they found the unit or parked it in a shed of lead, I don't see how even the 'expert' thieves could get around it.

They'd carry a portable Faraday cage with them on their shopping trips!

Great job, glad you got it back.Top Class.
Only problem I see in this is.If car was stolen by people who are on to it. Car would have been stripped out, chopped up and dumped well before you got out of bed.You can tell from house total back yard job.
But hey. $150 bucks well worth it. in this case. Worth the investment.

Couple it with a cheap alarm.An output of the alarm goes to an input on the GPS tracker.Bing, bango it sends you a txt when the alarm goes off

Unfortunately you don't need a shed of lead, or a faraday cage.GPS is a fairly easily blocked or jammed, as is cell phone reception.
