Why people lazy too use extra locks?

[6UE5t]

lazy is one thing...btw, it also depends on the thief determination to get the car too...some even resort to steal inside the owner house compound and even disengaged the auto gate installed... most thief do it because of got high demand..if the car model is on high demand in their wanted list...you will probably be on their radar ady...just waiting for the right moment...most car stolen is in stock condition...highly modded car less attractive to get stolen...usually they will just break into the car and steal the gadgets installed inside the car...

Highly modded cars are also difficult to resell hence not attractive to thieves.

You can also install air suspension. Lift the car higher a bit, put 2 pieces of rubber block (about RM50 each, normally use for car lift) then lowered the car and let the near-driving-wheels car body section sits on the blocks (tires of the driving wheel maintain 0.5 to 1 cm ground clearance). Basically the thief can't move the car at all. But in this matter, you probably need to install security wheel lock that ordered from overseas (not easily bought from local shop). The total cost will be not so friendly so it is basically not so practical.

Zero spending on your car security:

Remove a couple of fuses, remove a couple of spark plugs, remove main plug cables, remove ecu (if they have been relocated at a convenient place, that is).

Definitely a big turn-off, even for the most desperate thief. haha

Based on my survey on relatives and friends, most of them are lazy to use extra locks (steering, gear, pedal lock) when parking their cars outside. Most of the reportedly stolen cars in this forum also didn't use extra locks. Is it that hard to do?

Not Surprising when majority Malaysians are even Lazy to turn on their signals when switching lanes or turning into a junction. So, a steering lock is more complicated than turning on the signal with a finger.

That's the reason why many would not even use the steering lock even if they have one.

Sikap malas and Sikap tak apa of majority typical Malaysians...when something happened,
OH Shit, I should have done this or done that...they just prefer to learn their lessons
the hard way...

Yeah, you are right.

Depends how desperate the thief. If desperate enuf, the thief you would force your car to stop, force open the car door/smash windscreen, drag the driver out, hantam or slash driver kaw-kaw, and lastly highjack and drove off the car....This tactic is quite common. Some happened at the house front, some at petrol station, remote carpark lot, etc

Security company should design a self-destruct car. Unauthorized driver detected? C4 the thief to kingdom come....hahahah...padan muka!

Another simple solution to the problem is that to....

SANDBLAST YOUR CAR NUMBER PLATE ON ALL 6 OR 8 WINDOW/WINDSCREEN ....

Simple but it works....

Thieves find the cars with sandblasted number plate on the screens NOT ATTRACTIVE and TROUBLESOME...

Yes, that could deters car theft incidents. However, it would not stop thieves from selling separate parts from the car.

Nevertheless, some protection is better than no protection.

Correct, they put some chemicals, not sure what though.

Yeap, again the purpose is just as additional deterent to minimise our risk from theft.
