Car theft report on east coast messy with computer and its gone.
this is a huge concern for me as I cant go out and buy another 500.
Law enforcement suggests old school tech, the club. I would like to deal with this asap and looking for easy solutions.

 

Dude what? Lol

 

Are you asking a question?

 

I think he’s worried about theft and is seeking feedback

As others have said, there are things you can do to reduce the risk like you said, things like the club, faraday box, parking in a garage or blocking the car if you don't. Sadly though, if someone is determined to get your car, they will get it!

 

I think Lionel Messy stole his car and his computer on the east coast.

 

Let’s see if I can clean this up….

Car theft report on the east coast says if someone messes with the computer, it's gone.

Thank you so much for your help, I am very worried.

How was that?

 

Big improvement. Nicely done.

 

I use a soler throttle controller to lock the gas pedal and a toms steering wheel lock whenever I go to those places with high theft. I wanted to get IGLA but entering code every time you start the car seems annoying since my IS500 is my daily.

 

I have a Pedal Commander. It has a theft prevention within it, but is vulnerable if the thief knows to unplug it.

Frankly, the best thing will be that ugly club. If you have to park outside or on the street, get a club

 

I believe this is the story @oceanp was referring to.

I just installed an IGLA. I agree with you, if this was my daily driver it could be a pain in the neck to enter the code all the time. But it works for me and my amount of usage of the car.

 

I have a garage so I don't park outside. Hopefully most of us IS 500 owners have that same situation. Living in Claremont, CA and only driving around 50 miles a week (probably less than that or more when I have to go on a longer trip but it averages out) I don't really worry about theft. I never take it anywhere where it could possibly be dinged or stolen (that's what the wife's 2016 CX-5 is for). That said, I do like to take it when I'm going out with the wife for a nice night on the town. But even then I make sure it isn't parked anywhere where is could be stolen (hopefully).

But as others have said, if someone wants to steal your car, they are going to steal it. I guess that's the way it goes unfortunately.

 

^^ I am in the same boat as you!
