Default over the top?

With the recent spait of Car Jackings and people stealing Smart cars to order, i've taken the extra precaution to have the Custard Tart fitted with some 'MORE' security! This brings me back to my Scooby days!



Am i being over protective?

As long as they don't go round any tight bends, they could drive it off like that

Captain Paranoia or what! Car Jackings happen when you're in the car and who'd want a Smart stolen to order, this is a joke right?

What's the cable thing doing?

I thought thieves just used Stoplocks to help break the ignition lock, extra leverage and all that?

A blast from the past, you've been looking in the wrong places mate, I haven't been anywhere!

I haven't tried driving with a cable yet, I have driven a smart car though, can't say as I'd go to the effort of nicking one mind!
