It’s been parked like this for 5 years for no reason then I’m over protective. With all this I’m sure someone could come and take it at anytime.

...but only when nobody's at home, right?

Hopefully. I’d honestly not want to shoot someone over a car. I also live in a guard gated subdivision that has cameras and video of every car that enters and with all that anything is possible.

My employer provided work truck is a Ford. I leave it parked out front so people will realize there is nothing worth stealing here.

I don't own a ZL1 anymore but this is a major problem with TRX owners. I initially had Ravelco installed after my purchase (it's still there) but I now have IGLA and like that system much better. Do some searches on Ram TRX stolen or IGLA. A TRX owner recently had his track stolen WITH Ravelco and has camera footage of them driving away. The benefits of IGLA is they can't see it, they can't delete your key or create a new one and you set your own PIN code using steering wheel buttons or carry a small key fob to start your car.

The thefts of GM v8s has gotten pretty bad again in my area so I'm going to have to get it and a few other cars done at some poin.

I noo I noooo some of yaw gonna say Kill Switch or other technology.(ONSTAR BLOWS DONE EVEN MENTION THEM) Honestly just pull the starter relay fuse out when you exit the vehicle problem solved. I don’t care about a temporary CEL that goes away the second you put the fuse back in and start the car. The car WILL NOT START. I feel this better most definitely cheaper than a kill switch which basically does the same thing and you don’t have to go into any wire harnesses etc. As my last post regarding mine being stolen over 30 days ago goes, USAA IS FULL OF SHIT! There gonna wait until my settlement (very big) was done then send it to SPECIAL INVESTGATION UNIT to double check everything!!!!they wanna insure you but when its time to kick out they make you feel like your tryna scam them or some shit. Anyway just my thoughts. Watch your whip fellas these crudballs are lurking

TY for this friend. They tried to steal mine last night.

But they definitely disable onstar and the alarm in seconds. It’s someone payin these dudes to go out and steal certain cars and paying them paying them cash. Normally it’s real young dudes because they’ll get a slap on the wrist

Folks, they tried to steal my 2021 Convertible ZL1 2 nights ago. Something must have scared them off. They cut the top and somehow disabled my horn in record time. I cant even figure out where its disabled. The fuse is good and i hear it clicking near the fuse box when i have my son hit the horn. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I'd like to see car thieves get the ultimate penalty for their antics.

Get insurance involved if it's an attempted theft?

First let me say I'm sorry to hear this happened, I know how much this sucks!

Now most importantly make sure you have some good anti-theft devices on the car, and I am not talking about the factory alarm, immobilizer or OnStar. None of these will prevent your car from being stolen. There are many options out there and I would review the threads on this forum that discuss the various options. My personal recommendation is to take a look IGLA, but again there are other options that can be effective. Though I would recommend not going down the pull/replace fuse/relay route, there thieves that know about these and are ready to deal with these.

The above is important as depending on where they tried to steal it from, there is a very high probability there are going to try to steal it again.

As for the clicking, it sounds like a relay engaging, which is probably the horn relay. Though I am not sure if this is a separate relay as isn't listed on the diagram I looked at. The only other thing to do is get a multimeter and see if you can check for continuity and/or voltage going to the horn as needed, and try to locate where the connection is broken.

If you park outside, there's really no way to defend it against a professional.

What about these OBD port lockouts? One
company claims OBD port will be damaged if thieves try to remove it. Damaged port, but still keep car.
