How can I booby trap my car?

Question

It's been broken into 3 times in the last 2 weeks. I want to hang onto it for another couple of months but in the meanwhile I'd like to repay the kindness of my friendly local scumbags. Things I had in mind were... scalpel hidden under the seat cover, me hiding in the boot with a cosh, dog poo on the door handle. Of course, if I did that I'd have to go in through the passenger door. Any more non-lethal (preferably) ideas for sweet sweet vengeance?

They broke the back vent window but the child lock was on. So they forced open the driver's door.

Answer 1

Of course I would love to do something like that, but it is illegal. Yes....breaking into cars is illegal too, but you run the risk of being sued by making your property unsafe.

Thieves have sued victims of crime...if they break into your house, and fall and get hurt, they CAN sue!

Now.....you might want to do something like put paper with an ink powder on the seat. When the person breaks in, they touch it and their fingerprints go everywhere....there is your evidence.

Set up a camera someplace so it monitors your car 24/7....you can refer to the film if anything happens to your car.

Get 'em, but don't risk your future by booby-traps. You will end up in jail, although we all know that those thieves are total losers.

Answer 2

try connect the door handle or some part of the car to battery live, give the fuckers a little shock, whilst a friend was renovating a property he had bought but wasn't living in he kept getting broken into so he left a window slightly open with a pair of metal step ladders that were wired to the mains next to the window on the inside. someone must of tried to get in because the ladders were found on the floor and nothing happened since

Answer 3

If these scumbags are injured from a booby trap they can sue you for injuries and distress.
A way around it is to post a warning sign. For the sign to be effective in court though you will need a proof of the date the sign was posted. A photo of the sign (make sure your car is in the pic) with a date stamp from the photolab should be sufficient but I would local laws first to find out if a dated photo can be used as evidence.

Answer 4

Sadly - if you do anything which could cause harm you will be breaking the Law and more likely than them to get done for it.

Try setting up a video cam on it and at least get evidence of further activity...and/or

Keep it completely stripped of any valuables and leave the doors unlocked - at least that should help minimize damage

and/or

(You could even put a notice in the window -
(1) There is nothing of value kept in this vehicle
(2) The doors are unlocked...check it out for yourself...;-)
Optional addition:
(3) : "Don't worry about the video surveillance camera..." - and maybe even - "...it's not for police evidence, it's so we can recognize whose f*****n head to kick in)

My bet...no one would dare touch then it in case it is a set-up!

Answer 5

well..here's a thought..remember, it's just a thought, don't mean that you could or have to do this...lol

go to the grocery store, buy some fish, and some beef... set into a deep pan with the fish under the beef, so that way the fish isn't seen..set the pan inside of your car..trunk?, with some extra beef blood around the edges..
when the next time comes that they steal your car, call the cops and report that it is stolen, and your dog is missing too..
or hopefully the smell of rotted dead things that comes out of the vehicle when it is approached keeps them from stealing the stinky thing.

how to survive?....gas mask.

Answer 6

Try putting a camera on it and catch them red handed. Preferably the camera is in your home and pointing out at the car. Then you can go to the police with it and stop it for good.

Just a thought!

Answer 7

Rocky Thorton was renting my grandpa's garage for mechanic work, years ago...he had the same problem with turds breaking in. He wired up 25,000 volts to the doors.

Just a reminder...anything that causes injury CAN and WILL get you in a world of trouble. Read your state's laws on boobytraps.

Answer 8

I have the same problem, I have ran fish hooks under the front door handel and ran it up into the window and hooked them to a wooden rod. I dont give a **** about going to jail

Answer 9

There were so many woodworking plans with this collection and you will not believe this but there are over thousands plans in the one package deal. Go here https://tr.im/pUEPI
This is really something to find that many all together. For someone like me who is just really starting to get involved with woodworking this was like letting me loose in a candy store and telling me I could have anything I wanted. That was my dream when I was a kid.

"decrease the brake traces and loosened the nuts at the front tires." Have a effective time in detention center after your moves kill your son. in simple terms take the stupid keys with you. Oh, and perhaps get a toddler sitter on your 17 year previous son...he looks to have inherited your adulthood element......
