    A while back, I heard an interesting, rather inventive way to monitor your ride. This guy places a baby monitor in his car so he can hear what is going on outside his motel room. Like everything else, it is not fool proof, but it is one more way to watch over a ride. I take a fatalistic view of car theft, and figure if my rod gets stolen, it is insured, and I can always build another one just like it.

    Some times I think the James Bond system of exploding the car and the thief is the way to go, but I bet the insurance agents wouldn't agree! For awhile they had a mat on the passenger's seat that was a TASER set up, so that when the thief slid in on the passenger side they were tasered with and alarm system going off at the same time. But I guess it was to good, because it too is now illegal I believe!
    For now all the systems mentioned above seem to be the best we can do, but Don's advice towards a good insurance policy is probably the best. Insurance companies don't like paying out unless they have to so it's worth their time to try and recover expensive vehicles too.
