How to steal my 95 B2300

auto117584 · Feb 25, 2011

I'm designing my security/alarm system.

The times I will be using this system are when I am DEEP in back country, and the truck is parked for days or a week plus, while I am backpacking.

So, it's an isolated spot, nobody's watching except the astronauts, the NAS satellites, and Google. You see this old 95 B2300 with a WOOD camper shell on it, and for some inexplicable reason, you want it!

You have a big pickup that you're driving, your buddy/cousin is with you, you have tools and chains. You're gonna take the truck with you, one way or another.

What do you do? Pretend you're the guy.

Have fun, and steal my truck!

Drop the driveshafts and hook up the tow bar.

Blow it up with dynamite into smaller more managable pieces and toss them in the back of the truck, crack a beer and split with your junk. :thefinger:

Lima Bean, nobody likes you. Be serious, the truck and camper won't have anything visible, only stuff in storage area, out of sight. You want the truck because your Ranger jet engine blew up your other B2300, and you need the replacement. YOU GOTTA HAVE IT!

What do you do?

OK, it's got a boot on it. You still want the truck, just gotta have it. What do you do?

Winch it onto a trailer.

Hide it. Drive it a little ways into the timber and get a camo net to throw over it. If i can't see it i can't steal it.

As a retired EOD special ops combat diver I can make my own devices for anybody who would try to break in or steal my stuff when I am away. They would only try once and then I would just bury the crap left over...lol.
I hate crooks with a passion. I have security cameras around the property that is all wireless and with great color night vision and all are way cool. The best thing is not give them a helping hand by leaving anything in site. Smash and grab crooks are looking into your vehicals interior or peeking into your home windows to see if there is something right within easy access and the alarm will only make them grab something they have already spotted...grab it and run off before the cops arrive.
One of our dogs ripped up a guy once three years ago who was trespassing on our property with a new Mossberg 500 shotgun. We have no trespassing signs. We saw him about 25 yards away and we watched him climb over our fence railing. I got that shotgun now. We found some blood spots near the fence so my sweet pea 'Rip' got him good. No telling if he went to a hospital or not. Never heard of any reports about it.

Sounds like you have a very well trained guard/attack dog

I like this idea.

ive been thinking about using a hidden cell phone to call on my truck in case someone stole it to deactivate the ignition. But i havent even made a diagram on how to wire it so it can work and still be simple to wire.
that would help to deactivate it so nobody can start it.

You could get one of those cheapo phones they make for kids. They can only call 5 pre programmed numbers and are gps enabled, depending on the carrier i think you can get service for about $10/ month. Then if the truck goes missing all you have to do is go online to see where its at, load the shotgun, and go make friends.

and then go to jail.

police don't like it when people play vigilante.

The shotgun part wasn't meant to be taken seriously
