My brother in law told me this
story many years ago. It seemed that the local policeman in Portville, NY
was a nasty guy. He would park next to a coffee shop and wait for
speeders One nite while he was in the coffee shop, the guys put a chain
around his axel and then around a tree and left some loose chain. Then
when they knew he was in the car waiting for speeders, they came flying
by. Needless to say he took off after them, he came to a stop at the end
of his rope!!! And I was told that his rear axel was torn off the
car. Needless to say he never caught his speeders.

Subject: [FWDLK] Forward Look 'Theft
Proofing'
If you remove the rotor from the dist., that
would slow down the non serious thief. Not too many of them would have a rotor
in their pocket. One of the most unusual anti -thieft 'systems' I saw was
where a guy had metal bars made to fit through the slots in his rims. He then
ran a chain to each and put a padlock on each wheel. The chain also ran around
each axle. Said he learned to do this after several years of living in the far
east. Too many mornings of waking up to no car or no tires. Another guy would
chain his car to a utility pole near where he parks.
Just a few ideas.
