[QUOTE="acbc, post: 343182, member: 1619"] What? - how can there be free security measures? Lots of people have their cars stolen because they place them in situations that could be avoided. If you have a pride and joy on which you've lavished mega-dollars, it can often be wise to buy another old car to take on those journeys where you know the car will be at risk. That way, you can breathe easily when leaving a car at a railway station or shopping centre carpark all day. If your "good" car is exposed to theft at the place where you live, physical barriers such as removable bollards that are padlocked into place can be employed. The following security measures may look pretty basic, but when you see how many owners don't follow these rules, you realise that some people make it easy for a thief... * Always ensure doors are locked when you leave the vehicle (and make sure the windows are right up!). * Hide any valuable items that might be inside the car. * To avoid car jacking, lock all doors when you are travelling. * When parking near a building, park near a window - the occupants might be somewhat interested in someone breaking into the car right outside. * Don't advertise the car's desirability with brand-name stickers. * Remove a fuse for the fuel pump or ECU when you're forced to leave the car in an emergency. * Don't go about telling everyone how great your car is!

Altezza Half Cut Watch...
fellow members,
since Altezza half cuts are rare and hard to find, maybe we can pool in our resources and share where we can obtain parts, preferably half cuts around Klang Valley and other states...
