[Vwdiesel] Security... Miser's method

[Justin and Chelly Bennett]

Depending on where you are at, even this method will not work.  A friend 
had his pickup stolen and it is real rough looking.  It was found parked 
next to the highway leading down to the reservation with a busted u 
joint.  Guess the thieves didn't know that a mechanic's outfit is 
usually the one that has the most wrong with it.  Something about we 
know about how far marginal stuff will go before it goes.  Here is a 
trick for keeping your stereo in place.  Using hilocks, cherrymax, or 
other locking blind fastner you can afix razor blades along the bottom 
back edge of the stereo.  When the thief reaches behind the dash to 
steal it they will slice up their hands and fingers.  A buddy's neighbor 
down this down in San Fran. and the police were able to trace the thief 
by the finger print that was left lying on the floorboards.
