Has your car ever been stolen? I wanna hear about it!

DOUG, the type of guy whose name is used as a scoreboard Wait, wrong channel

Good thing I have a Mazda RX8. Apex seals will blow up before the thief gets anywhere.

Anti theft tip: before walking away from your vehicle, remember to weld the doors shut, remove steering wheel, engine, and all 4 wheels and tires. Build a 30ft steel wall all around your vehicle and that should help a little with theft.

2-way car alarms will let you know on your remote when your alarm is going off. If it has a starter interrupter it should give you some time to get out to your car. I highly recommend these over standard alarms. Steering wheel locks only take seconds to bypass with a hacksaw. Theyll just cut through the steering wheel itself. Just another small deterrent basically. A killswitch saved my car from being stolen once, so I installed a 2nd one, got a steering wheel lock and a car alarm. Overall, these are very helpful tips.

Get steering wheel lock + wheel lock + clutch lock . And you hear , "Hello my name is lockpickinglawyer ....."

To get the cheapest anti-theft device: park somewhere illegally and the police will provide a free boot. They don't want your vehicle stolen either. They'll even write you a note to come down to the precinct to thank them later.

Glad you mentioned the Clutch lock! No one seems to know about them. So effective since both the lock and pedals they lock onto are made of steel, so they can't be cut anywhere. They also works for automatic transmissions too - just locks onto the brake pedal. Same effect! I'm surprised you still recommend the Club (steering wheel lock) though. Thieves are known to be able to simply cut the steering wheel itself easily with any saw, making it easy to remove the lock.

“A car is stolen every 41 seconds” who else just looked at their car(s) lmaoo

Watch ChrisFix on adding a Kill Switch or drive a Manual or both idk

5:10 why is the thief in this video opening doors like a GTA character ?

"DOUG score" I see what you did there

The 1st steering wheel lock can be bypassed relatively easy. Best to use the boot. Also when using the boot you open yourself to the carjacker or robber. So never turn a blind I when removing your boot. Be aware of your surroundings. Kill switches are also pretty affective. For long term parking I would use two in conjunction with another. It may slow you down and be an inconvenience, but thieves want the quickest/easiest target.

Nice, but how do we get pop up up-n-down headlights on spotify?

I asked ChrisFix to do a video on how to install flamethrowers on the side doors.

I think my favorite is the kill switch and removing the wheel. Chrisfix actually made a video on how to install the kill switch.

If you have to leave your vehicle in long term airport parking or elsewhere unattended for days.....look in your owner's manual, find the fuse/relay list, remove the starter, ignition, and fuel pump fuses. Then the vehicle cannot even be started with the key, let alone hotwired. Just make sure you keep the fuses safe where they don't get damaged in your travels.

Man this new D.O.U.G. score is a great way to rank these options! Who would have thought?

A D.O.U.G. score... I feel like I've seen that somewhere before... maybe not. Lol.

"College Degree: 6k" This is how you know you're watching a non-US video

I think a fuel pump kill switch would be the best also wheel locks that prevents the lug nuts from being removed cause they can use a different wheel.

I'll save you some time: 1. Get a quick-release steering wheel 2. Get a manual transmission 3. Get a less appealing car 4. Get bulletproof glass

1:25 - The price of that graduation cap is missing a 0 at the end.

someone pointed me to this video to share how I prevent car theft. I move the driver seat(cushion and seatback) as far forward as possible. For my car, that means only a chimpanzee can squeeze in there and drive. I then pull the power seat relay out. In my Mercedes, it's located in side the trunk, forward of the spare tire. I either take the small relay with me or hide in somewhere in the car. A car thief will not spend the time to figure out how to fix the non-movable power seat, so he/she won't be able to drive away. I got this idea when my power seat relay failed and I could move my seat. After I bought a new $8 relay from the Mercedes dealer, I realized that it was also an easy way to prevent car theft. Of course, if thieve just tows my car, then this obviously will not work. My friend improved my method by simply adding a hidden on/off switch on the wire feeding power to the power seat motor. He moves the seat forward and then turn off the switch. It has the same effect of making it impossible to drive the car.(again, unless the thief is the size of a chimpanzee) He uses a foglight switch for this purpose.

Love the tips but grew up in one of the car theft capitals in the US & the steering wheel lock (the club brand type) was one of the easiest tools to break. Theives would break them within seconds & I would see broken ones on the sidewalk all the time.

Steal my car if youre gay note: value:10 effect:10

I wouldnt lock the door, i cant afford to replace a broken window Plus my car wont start unless you literally jiggle the key then the shifter then pat the dash.

I came out of work one day, looking for my car, thinking I must've parked it somewhere else, then I see a load of glass on the the road, I remember that day so clearly like it was yesterday

The absolute best way to stop getting a car stolen is taking off all the wheels and resting the car on jack stands. This trick worked when Iraq invaded Kuwait in the 90s. My dad found his car in the same spot after 1 year despite mass lootings going on.

Did you test the locks against the lock picking lawyer though?

Just buy a Prius. No one will bother stealing that car

Had my AE86 boosted in Chicago years ago. It had no steering wheel or spark plug wires. They used a flatbed tow truck which was parked days later down the block. I called the cops and they did nothing despite the flatbed having no tags or vin numbers. Next time I’ll put a tracker in my baby, follow them and do some John Wick shit to them!

Couldn’t stop laughing at the remote kill switch part. 😂

4:40 thief did a naruto run down the street

Someone once tried stealing my Volvo 850 Wagon. He gave it back :(

If you don't have a clutch pedal put the lock around the brake pedal instead. After a night on the town with a friend (this was many moons ago) we got back to his car only to find that he'd I'd locked the keys inside, well guess who should be doing the rounds but a very nice car thief who kindly opened the door for us, a true story.

Just shared this video with a customer of mine at the Mercedes-Benz dealer; he was quite pleased with his options for his older vehicle. Thanks Donut!

I got three lines of defence 1. my steering wheel is an after market pop-off steering wheel and i never leave it in the car. 2. i have an ignition kill switch hidden in a perfect spot. 3. If all else fails...Its still a manual hardly anyone knows how to drive a manual.

Somone tried to steel my car. They got 10 feet before they realized it was a manual. They didn't know how to drive a manual.

My brother and I as young teenagers used to steal cars to just joyride or whatever. Sometimes keys were just under the tyres. We always brought them back tho just facing the wrong way lol

“I know we’re car guys, no woman has ever been like ‘hey, nice car’” lmaoo that’s funny as hell

Best way to make sure your car doesn't get stolen: take off the steering wheel

guy from my highschool had his GSR stolen from the parking lot. Twice. The second time the cops found it, it was stripped on blocks in LA about 30 miles away from our school.

Here in Dallas they've been using tow trucks to steal vehicles, they stole my silverado high country in less than 30 seconds.

You guys should do a video on preventing a U-Haul's from getting stolen. It's been happening alot lately here in Seattle with everyone moving here. When that happens people lose literally everything

Don't buy a car Value: 10 Effects: 10 No more car thieves.

I'd like to examine all the Quirks and Features of that flamethrower. I wonder if adding that invalidates the Carmax Bumper to Bumper warranty.

Usually I jus take all my pistons with me, works a charm 🤷🏿‍♂️

After my 69 chevelle nomad was attempted stolen at work, I installed a GRANT brand steering wheel removal kit. With the twist of a key, the steering wheel goes with you.

A great way to protect your car would be a simple electro-shock contraption installed in the driver seat, NFC activated. Once the car is opened, you get about 30 seconds to pull out your NFC tag and scan it, otherwhise a needle pops out of the seat piercing your pants and a 2000 volt electric shock is applied, killing the theft instantly. There you go. I fixed the problem of car theft. I'll take a Nobel.

The best car alarm I ever had I rigged up though my tape deck. I recorded the pump action on a shotgun. When someone activated the alarm you heard the shogun sound .

Another good free way of doing it is taking out the ignition fuses and you can’t do anything then, doubt the average Fief will have the correct or all the fuses and time to look through it

Hello! I live in Massachusetts. My son was visiting me. He lives in Montreal Canada I let him take my car to Montreal for a week. Unfortunately my car was stolen on his birthday. 😔 I had a Honda CR~V 2019. My car was parking on street. Police give me no hope!! I wish I knew how many Honda has been stolen every day in Canada. The stolen cars in Canada are out control. I wish I knew that. I found your video very helpful! Thank you for sharing this great ways to prevent our car from being stolen. 🙋🏻‍♀️ Thank you Rosilene

Also Having Your Car is a Manual Gearbox in USA It's Free!

Super loud straight piped manual mustang is the ultimate anti theft car, it will always watched by police

Imagine having a long row of kill switches labeled “figure it out” and you have to have the right combination to get it to work

Anyone else from Connecticut? You wouldn’t believe it but car jacking is on the rise in Connecticut, ESPECIALLY Hondas! I got a 2015 Honda Civic, really nothing special, mostly an aesthetic build but I’m not taking any chances! Thanks for this videos!

I once got my Honda Civic SI manual stolen. The car was not very valuable at the time but it meant a hell of a lot to me. It was my first ever independent major purchase from my paycheck and it had a set of really cool new spark plugs on it too. Needless to say, the thief was found since he dropped his handkerchief on the ground but my car was found totaled in a ditch 😥

Dude I literally came here for fear of my car being stolen and the last car is mine on your top ten list. Thanks bro I officially can’t sleep now

Disconnecting the battery while the car is running, is the old school way of testing if your alternator is going out. If the car continues to run, then your alternator is good. So they thief would be able to drive the car away, even if you cut the battery.

New best way: Have a fart sound as car alarm, and make it so freaking loud that everyone in the parking lot would hear it.

When I was 17 I got my first car stolen while I was inside at work and when I got dropped off the next day it was back where it had been taken from.

On my old no top bronco with a manual transmission. I took the wire from the switch on the clutch pedal. It's there so you can't start the car with out putting in the clutch. Ran the wire under my carpet to just in front of the driver's seat. Then bought a cheap horn button , wired the button to the clutch wire under the carpet. With the button also under the carpet , the only way to start the bronco was to step on the spot were the button was under the carpet. Cost me maybe ten bucks and only a few minutes to install. Just don't forget to be out of gear when you step and start or you will have a bucking bronco lol. Super cheap and even if they hot wire or mess with the steering column and key cylinder, still won't start unless that little hidden button gets stepped on while turning the key. I put mine on my left , so I used my right foot on the brake and just stepped back with my left foot to press the switch.

My car had an alarm and immobiliser installed from factory. Went to a store at the mall to get a couple of keys programmed to reactivate them. I saved around $250 compared to the dealer prices. On the 7 hour drive home, I tripped the alarm twice. The second time, at a service station; someone walked past me in my car and gave me a dirty little look.

short Ben from gears and gasoline says take the ECU with you when you leave your EK civic in Florida

Lock picking lawyer has taught me anything with a lock can be picked in about a minute

Glad i kept the horse!😂

Back when I lived at an apartment in a shithole area where cars frequently got stolen I used to unplug my ECU and bring it inside with me every night. My car's ECU is behind the glovebox, so it only took me 30 seconds to take it out.

The flamethrower is great until it malfunctions you start napalming everyone in traffic

My favorite part about owning a car with a manual transmission is that thieves who don't know how to drive stick can't even start the car XD

They tried to highjack me in Johannesburg, South Africa a month ago. Luckily I sped onto the highway and got stuck in traffic along with the high jackers😅. Never been more grateful for congestion

I'm gonna give you a tour of some the quirky and effective deterrents, and then I'm going to give them a DonutScore!

“A manual car can be it’s own anti-theft device” My car gets stolen when it’s manual anyway.

With these keyless entry fobs, with the right electronics it's about as easy as hot wiring was in the old days. Keep your fob in a faraday bag or a $1 metal box from Goodwill.

Honestly the best and cheapest things to do, killswitch, removable steering wheel, and a tracker ie, apple AirTag or something to that nature, and park in open areas and try to park you’re car in the garage when you can

Nobody: Nolan: I'm gonna show you how to theft-proof your car and I'm gonna give it a *DOUG SCORE* , and for more of my thoughts...

Subaru uses different anti theft system, it's called Head Gasket 😂

I’m buying a Miata so I kinda need some extra anti left protection, I’m glad for this video!

0:09 Je sounds like James

When you started on wheel locks, I could only think of the episode where homer Simpson drove off with a wheel lock attached, ruining the car but getting away

1:42 I legit thought he would say "and then we're gonna give it a Doug score".... I've been watching too much Doug DeMuro recently

another thing you can do is just go into your fuse box and pull your ignition fuse the a smart thief will bring another fuse the next day but could be effective for something overnight

This video is straight fax. I have a 79 trans am with no windows, but my kill switch and apple tag taped under the back seat have me sleeping like a baby

$6K in tuition? Half the people in here let out a nervous chuckle.

Dissuading Offenders from Usurping Goods ... Is this a Doug score?

I know this is 3yrs old. But a properly professionally installed alarm with a STARTER kill will NOT have false alarms, and will prevent unauthorized starting of the car. And with a 2way remote and/or a telematics device will notify you the alarm is going off, and or let you know if it did get stolen. Impact sensors need to be set PROPERLY and tilt sensors can detect if the vehicle is lifted up or towed. Also in Canada mandatory antitheft type ignitions with transponder keys have been mandatory for 20yrs. Car theft is strong again because smart key vehicles have become easy to steal. Turn key start cars with a transponder chip are MUCH harder to steal

My truck was stolen in Houston while I was at work one day in high school and we actually found it 2 days later. If I'm in a shady area, I pull the fuel pump relay and take it with me.

I appreciate you telling us the quirks and features of anti-theft devices

Dissuading Offenders from Usurping Goods score! I see what you did there!

5:55 this was probably the funniest part of the video

Still dying over “Doug Score” 2 years later lmao

They can't steal your car if you don't have one 🤷‍♂️

My dad is a head mechanic and has been one for about 30+ years. He knows everything there is to know. I asked him about kill switches, and he said they are good deterrents but are ineffective with serial car thieves since most kill switches, at least amateur ones, have one cable connecting to the battery. The serial car thief will know this right away and just cut the cable connecting the battery to the kill switch, making it utterly useless. He said a better, more advanced kill switch is to manually disconnect your fuel pump or disconnect your fuel lines. I think that’s the alternative he told me. According to him, it’s not a very well known trick, so it will catch most common car thieves by surprise. I don’t remember his explanation on how you’re supposed to do that, but I remember him saying it’s not very difficult. I think he said the thief might still be able to drive the car for like 30 seconds or something before the car shuts off on its own for lack of fuel or whatever. He said, at this point, the thief will freak out and abandon the car right away leaving it wherever it shutoff, instead of trying to figure out why it shutoff. More than likely, you will get your car back undamaged since the thief didn’t get far, especially if it’s in the middle of the street with the door open in broad daylight or somewhere with constant traffic or passerbyers, lol.

Just one thing that caught my eye. Putting your car in a well lit area is actually worse. A few ex car thief’s all said in different interview they prefer the light, “heck yeah I can actually see what I’m doing”.

Clutch- and brake-pedal locks are surprisingly effective. I wonder if @LockPickingLawyer has done any of these too.

Lmao "DOUG" Score However, being a motorbike guy as well, getting a bike stolen is sooo much more common 😭😭

Another tip...avoid peacocking. Doing the "look at me, look at me, see what i got" on social media will make you a target. Cost: $free.99 Effect: 10/10

In Poland there was also an invention of the 90s, which is gearstick blockade. Shift to either 1st or reverse gear and stick that blockade in a certain hole, so it'll be impossible to switch gears without taking it out with a special key. Apparently shit, not antitheft device it was, but hey, it was something and since it came along with a car when buying out of a dealer, then fine. And the ultimate antitheft device: taking away car's battery or any small crucial part of your car.

1. Locking you keys in your car. The perp can break a window and the keys are waiting to be used/ (For a jpyride they won't care and for resale they will already have a replacement.) 2. Car alarms can be stopped. Or disconnect the battery from underneath and just tow it away. 3. The club. A rigged battery driven sawsall or grinder 4. Lowjack can be turned off if the perp knows the frequency. 5. Ki;; switch. This will work onlt one time. After that they will just tow it/ 6. The boot. See #3. 7. I don't have an answer for the flamethrower. He challenged me and I am part German, I had to answer.
