Default a sad story.....

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/73781/dscn0020.jpg"></center><p>the car in the picture was parked exactly this way on december 30th 2003, when i woke up december 31st 2003, my s4 was gone, stolen right from my drive way.

14 days later it was found without it's euro lights, and the clutch was burned, burn holes in the seats, right rear door smashed out, steering wheel column busted and a set of bald tires.

i have got her back now and after driving a land cruiser for almost 3 months, she feels like i sat on a rocket. good as new.

just reminding you people to be sure and keep your cars garaged or have lo'jack on it.

drive safe laterz.

Default LoJack is for recovery. I recommend **preventative** measures... Glad you got your car back and are

enjoying it

Default Nothing beats a clifford alarm installed right, just ask Kenny Wu (aka hadokenny)

we activated his alarm that came with the car from a previous owner, since we where unaware that the car anti-car-jacking device was turned on and did not know the special code, he drove home, 60 sec later he was unable to drive his car. Luckly a buddy of mine installs these alarms for a living and was able to make the car run again.

Default I dont understand why no one has installed an aftermarket alarm such as clifford

there is an anti-car-jacking device where a code has to be punched in everytime the car is started or someone has opened the door. Not trying to plug an certain car alarm company but from knowing from experienced where my car has gotten car jacked twice if I didn't have that alarm I would be out two cars.

Default people have. It's nice but not necessary. There are other much cheaper alternatives that do just

fine. I looked at a Clifford alarm but decided against it as it was like $800-900 installed.

Default lol for the cheapest clifford alarm which has the

anticarjacking device, I have seen them installed for $500. But even for 900 bucks, isn't that better then losing $45,000, when it comes to protecting your vehicle you shouldn't cut corners.
