Though I can't break into your car :-) I agree with John on this one. I'd rather
someone open the unlocked door and steal my floormats than slash my top to get
them.
QUESTION: I was in Sears picking up one of those portable jump starting things
--
on sale, and for my BMW, not the TR4 -- and looked at the new DieHard Security
batteries. They have a battery deactivation feature using a remote that you hang
on your keychain. I have a battery disconnect under the hood thanks to the PO,
but it's only suitable for storage, not when parked at a restaurant. "Hun, you
go
ahead and get a table, I'll just crawl under the hood and be right there."
Any thoughts from listers? Anyone use one yet?
