      its too bad you can't leave a dead thief rotting at the end of your driveway with a little sign pounded into his chest that says "this guy tried to steal from me, don't be like this guy"

      Yeah, I'm moving the flood lights to the front since my Neighbor just upgraded his and I no longer need them on the entry way. The front of my place is a little dark. Also a night time camera hooked to a PC Based DVR is going in. The cameras are about $50 and the USB adapter is about $20 on Ebay. I might even add a speaker.
      We have 4 security cameras on our house, 3 have night vision. Two motion lights and an 8ft privacy fence with a cedar hedge all the way around. Once you get by that there is electric buffalo fencing ankle high and hip high and after that there is about 50 land mines scattered around just in case.

      All kidding aside, we do have the security cameras, fence, flood lights, and cedar hedge.

      These wheels fit Hondas... look at the pictures, they knew what they wanted and got it.

      If you have a way of getting the key off, a couple jacks and a few people, the whole process wouldn't be more than 5-10 minutes. Do you walk out every 4 minutes to check on your car?

      What do you use for recording software? I'm looking for something open source if possible, though I may step up and just get some decent home automation software that has DVR ability built in.

      It's a 1000 hour or higher I think tape recorder. It records 2 second intervals so if someone can run faster than 2 seconds through my yard I won't see them, which is not possible. It self maintains as in after 1000 or so hours it rewinds the tape back automatically and records over it. It's like 4-5 years old but it has definately come in handy. It might be more than 1000 hours though because usually it goes for about half a year then rewinds. Of course this is all hidden in case we get stolen from, they can never destroy the evidence.

      Stealing my car is the least of a thieve's worries lol I would probably laugh if someone did or try, because they aren't getting far.

      The reason why we have this all set up is because of vandals, had the tires of a vehicle slashed and gas tank sugared on another vehicle. So we thought of making this place a bit intimidating and secure.

      lol I thought hondas used 5 lugs, but thats what honda boys would do, steal rims with the wrong bolt pattern , but still, ive never had problems as living in a place that I should have problems, but people know not to steal from me. Buy some cheap rims next time or use the steelies you got now, you wont have anyother problems. That camaro got owned though, only some ricer jdm fags would do something to a car such as that, I ****ing hate people who hate america, should be a hate crime.

      manorness7, damn, you live in the hood, got any guns?

      And if anyone wants to steal from me, Ill make sure they wont do anything ever again

      No, Honda civics have always been 4x100. I think Honda accords are 4x113.

      Thought about getting some bullet proof windows and run flats the other day, never know when you might need that kind of stuff.

      i dont think the side of an aveo would stop a .22 bullet.. so you would be best of rolling down those windows and ducking..
