"A steel bar you can see from 30 feet away! Prevent the window from being broken in the first place..." "Next, never let anyone see inside, cover all the windows.." 🤣🤣

I have a friend who races motorcycles. Usually when they are taking their trailers cross country security is a huge deal as there are hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of bikes, parts, and tools, in the trailer. My friend had a genius idea and bought a poop truck sucker magnet for the side of the trailer. That 100$ sticker worth more than any security system. Never been broken into.. genius.

number one is bull crap because dateline did an interview with professional car thieves and they all said it takes about 30 seconds to get rid of the club all you got to do is cut through the steering wheel with a hacksaw the steering wheel is made up of a quarter inch aluminuml ring and half an inch of rubber

You did not include electrifying the handles or whatever else can be electrified...Nothing like a good jolt of electricity in the early morning.
