unless they happened to carry a spare mini quick shift gear stick, lol, then alls theyve got to do is find every other security feature, then theyll be able to drive it away, if they can use my clutch (its an on/off type), then ill go on my laptop, and track the car, go get it back, and punch them in the face, lol

Have you tried a Skoda badge,it works for the guy next door.He leaves his car unlocked all night and it's still there come morning.

I read somewhere that you can secure one of those cheap payg mobile fones somewhere secret in your car and have it plugged into a charger that is always charging whenever you turn on the ignition. this makes it traceable and I think you have to make a fone call from the fone every six months or something to keep the sim active ?? you could fone a chat line

It won't stop anyone taking your Mini but you can locate it..It's a lot less expensive than a Tracker and a GPS won't work in tunnels or buildings but mobile phones do.
1. Buy a cheap mobile phone ( You can get one for £10.00 ) buy a sim with £10.00 on it make one call and register it
2. Buy a car charger.
3. Wire the charger to a permanent live.
4. Hide the phone under the dash somewhere (not so easy on a Mini) and fix it securely then connect the charger to the phone secure with a cable tie.
5. Switch the phone on and leave it on. If ever the car gets stolen, or you simply want to check up on your cars location, just look up its location online & either pass on the details to your local police - or go sort it yourself. Even if they disconnect the car battery the mobile will still be on until the battery runs down..... That could be over a week.

There are quite a few web sites, which for a small fee, will track down a mobile phone signal to within 150 metres - just google ' mobile phone tracking '

Or http://www.childlocate.co.uk/

You will be able to track the car at all times. If you have a smart phone you could use that to track it...........

put fake dog ******* everywhere and smear chocolate spread everywhere. and put a pillow under a blanket in the back that looks like a sleeping dog.

wire the shell up to the mains? i should imagine 240v would give them quite a tingle

[maggies_minder]

you could always just keep it in a garage, never drive it and just look at it, im sure thats pretty safe.

someone at work wired his tool box up to a 12v battery, gave me a tingle when i went to take a tool out, lol

[adam_93rio]

i dont think anyone would actually steal my mini. everyone around the area knows it and sort of where im from too.

they wouldnt enjoy being caught in the act either to be honest, but i do my damn best to not leave it anywhere 'dodgey'
