For little money, a person can get a system that can email, text or call you when there is motion in an area.  There's also a camera that will send a picture of a motion event within seconds of the movement.  I tested this out recently. 

I've been procrastinating about putting my system together, I have what I need.  Just have to get off my ass and do it.  Once it's in place I'll share what I have... :2thumbs:

I see too many people driving in my neighborhood that don't belong looking in garages.  The older I get the more paranoid I get. :eyes:

I'm not so sure that paranoia is such a bad thing.  People do indeed scout areas to go do something just like this. 

I would love a tracking unit in the car but first things first, make it very hard to break in in the first place. 

I have been toying with the idea of making the Charger harder to break into by removing the lock pin, disengaging the outside lock and adding a blocker to the inside door handle so you can't engage it by sticking something between window and weatherstrip.  Once the power locks are installed this is easily done but of course if the battery dies I'll be locked out as well.   :icon_smile_big:

Maybe I should just paint it green again, that ought to keep everyone at a healthy distance.   :lol:

I would agree. Not sure it's even paranoia or just caring for the things that you've worked hard for. I grew up in a small town. Small enough if you passed gas up wind, a mile down the road they already knew you did before you'd finished, what you'd ate, and who was there when you did it! Heck we all knew everyone in town, and something like this "isn't" a risk. But sadly it's not really the people you know, it's the guys cousin in town, who sees something, and tells his cousin, and next thing ya know, it's gone and no one is anymore the wiser on who did it. We lock everything up tight even if we are still going to be on the property. Doesn't matter how hard you've worked for it, some idiot out there still thinks they DESERVE it more then you do.  :brickwall: :brickwall: :flame: :flame:

Agreed!!! :punkrocka: :woohoo: :METAL: Glad to here one more Mopar was saved from the black market, chop shops, and plain stupidity.  I bet someone is going to take a few more precautions before leaving it somewhere with anybody.

i still find funny...where is the owner in all this?  He stores a car in a warehouse instead of his nice home? I saw those pics of his home and its super nice.  Leaves it there for weeks and does not visit the storage place  :shruggy:

A lot of great cars are stored in warehouses and frequently in bad neighborhoods.  There are also a lot of great cars in storage that are infrequently visited.  There is nothing unusual about that part at all.

I have a warehouse in a complete crap hole of a neighborhood. The kind of neighborhood you never go into without being armed.  I keep the Charger and my 69 Bee in there, never had a problem yet.

With that being said we are closing on a different property for our business, and the cars will be moved hopefully within a few weeks.

Mike, you may want to carry at least a 45cal. down there. Some of the guys down there have been hitting Popeyes buffet a little much, and anything less than a 9mm won't even slow them down.  All kidding aside, some of them would probably look after my stuff.

Spot on buddy!  It's not the guy who saw it.  It's the guy three bar stools down that hears him talking about.
