Anti theft/Deterrent systems
steveo169 - December 5th, 2013 at 11:47 AM

Hi all
I am interested in what anti-theft systems (deterrent ) you have on your CB's?? Interested in ignition locks, chains, imobilisers, since a club wouldnt work (it would silly if someone drove off with one on and the windscreen down etc

Not CB specific, but i have a tyre lock. As long as they don't have access to a spare tyre, it'll give a thief grief.

The other option, which is an oldschool emmobilizer that my grandfather taught me, is to take to dissy rotor button out and put it in your pocket. Its a pretty quick process to remove and install. No good if you are just ducking into the post office though.

A generic "I love dogs" style sticker in a prominent position, then place a rubber dog turd on the drivers seat. Works a treat.

Or you could try the beetle style gearshift lock:https://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=VWC-111-798-700

I have been with Shannons for 13 years without any questions. ( I guess questions will be asked if happen to make a claim)

As far as a deterrent goes- How about Bluey- a stumpy tailed cattle dog without his muzzle tied to the handbrake lever.

I guess an auto electrician could wire up an immobiliser of some sort to provide a little piece of mind.
I like Paul's idea of the fuel solenoid cutoff

My Spyder has a similar problem, being open.

A hidden switch in the [electric] fuel pump circuit, or a fuel shut-off as Paul says may help. Make sure the switch is hidden, but not easy to see you using it.

Mine is hidden under the......hang on, you fool.:rolleyes:

How about a gear lever lock from Wolfsburg West

Might need to workaround a tad but it gets good reviews on Samba.

Not expensive at US$79
