Muddy Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 Just had my trusty one of my most useful cars stolen off my drive the other night my Jimny luckily they failed to steal my girlfriends jimny too. My worry now is for my boxster 2005 what’s your thoughts on how secure they are with what they came with and what does anybody do to add security to their boxster when kept outside. cheers Muddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't deter a professional thief but the opportunists will probably choose another victim. Our 2005 Boxsters don't attract pro-thieves, just joy-riders. People like ourselves with less money & no scruples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattman42 Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 Steering wheel disc locks are meant to be quite good, along with the lift up posts that you put in front of the car. Although part of me thinks if they want it that bad, let them take it, better than coming into the house looking for keys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Posted February 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 Yeh just bought one of those yellow steering locks has a red flashing light too. Was wondering the position of the key doesn’t expose the ignition barrel perhaps this is more difficult to hot wire if they still do that.

944GS Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 I installed a Sprint Booster yesterday. One of the additional features on top of improving throttle response is you can deactivate the accelerator pedal and protect it with a code so even if someone has the car key and starts the car it won’t drive away.

Ninesomething Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 Are many of these cars stolen? I suspect not or my insurance premium would be higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
