    Hope you brought your grinder...and something better than a Sig.

    That padlock is garbage, use something better like a Paclock. Normally people tie the chain around one of the pedals, but that works too. Way better than the club.

    The Master lock is just to annoy a potential thief. My Motion sensors, Doberman, and Sig 556 will make them regret thier mark.

    One-at-this-price stripper. Bought new 34 yrs ago, a $13K leftover. Added Detroit TruTrac, 1”rear spring spacer and “pinstripes”… Factory AC kit and roof rack bought at dealer cost at time of purchase, still blows ice cold 32yrs later. 2022 AG ORP all stock.
    Better padlock and case hardened chain would be an improvement, at least bolt cutters would have a harder time.
    A battery powered 4-1/2” grinder w/cut-off wheel would make quick work of either though.

    If they really want it, they'll get it. Just a heads up with that setup, Id wager they'd cut the steering wheel itself and slide the chain off. Itd still be drivable....

    By the time my phone notifies me and they're cutting into the Krypto lock on the shifter...they'll have these in their face.

    Hey! Let’s see a photo of your dog and your rifle in your truck. That’d be cool.

    I love dobermans! I’ve always felt that quad rails were kind of lame.

    Am I missing something, just looking at your photo it looks like they could just lift the Krypto lock up and off the shifters and drive it away??

    A newer neighbor asked me awhile back if I could help fix his wife’s car. He had over tightened the pinch bolt on the battery terminal lug and stripped it. The nut was just rotating on the bolt, wouldn’t tighten and wouldn’t come off. I grabbed one of my trusty battery grinders with a cut-off wheel and buzzed the nut off.
    He thanked me and asked what the tool is called, I said “key to the city”……he looked puzzled for a moment and then his eyes opened a lot wider with shocked look.
    He doesn’t know what to make of me….lol

    Four hidden kill switches and (unsaid) GPS trackers. I reckon if they get past my nearest cross street...they won't outrun a 500HP GTO and a 556. #justsayin

    How are you protecting against catalytic converter theft? I assume the doberman and firearm are running double duty for that too? And the GTO and rifle again if you have to chase them should they flee with said catalytic converters?

    What if the thief has a GTO with 505hp? What if they have a Sig 557 and anti-motion sensor technology?

    Actually probably most importantly what if the steal your GTO? Do you chase them in the 4Runner? OR what if they steal both the 4Runner and the GTO (assuming they get passed all your traps like an Indiana Jones movie) do you ride the doberman to give chase?

    Is this a Fast&Furious fever dream? I dont know you, dont know your story, but what the shit? You live somewhere so crime ridden you have to slap a chain, 4 kill switches, and x gps trackers, to then brag online how quickly you'd run down anyone stealing your slow car in your fast car and shoot em up? Neat.

    Just by the looks of it I think the U-lock should have been enough. I can't imagine getting around that very easily. But my vote would always be for the kill switch. If only there were a way to advertise a kill switch in action to avoid the driver side window being broken open.

    With a 4.5” cut-off disc on a lithium battery grinder that chain or padlock would be off in 5 seconds.

    It's Like Branden967 said "if they want it, they'll get". I'm just making it as difficult as possible. ‍♂️.
    It's Not like Johnathan Ward built it.
