Oregon just did this. It doesn’t seem to be working.

There will always be theives doing what they do. All you can do is take measures so they steal someone else's shit.

It's like saying, don't lock your doors because they can just pry it open.

 

Does any company keep their protection plates in stock?

I bought these and had them within a week. Easy install, probably took me 2 hours taking my time.

 

I sent email to Talon's Garage this morning asking if they had them in stock ready to ship. I didn't expect to hear anything back until tomorrow being today is a holiday. Well, they replied letting me know they did in fact have them on the shelf ready to ship. Order has been placed.

 

I just had my cat stolen off my 2005 Honda CRV that sits out front of my house. No insurance because it's an old car and the muffler shopped charged me $1800 and change. This city is getting pretty special now.

I ordered a cat strap and the alarm option today for it. Until then it has to sit in my backyard where it's safe. It reminds me of some inexpensive vacation destinations where everyone has their vehicles behind giant walls around their homes. I think it's great Calgary is becoming more like a 3rd world city every day.

 

Sorry man. Really sucks the direction our society is going...

 

Being in Northern California, I received mine in two days. Took two hours to install them yesterday. Looks clean and will thwart the smash-n-grab thieves. If they really want the cats, they will get them.

 

Try this. Yes it’s “gimmicky” but it’s only $30 and it def helps. It works and you can adjust the sensitivity. I arm it, barely push the side of my truck and it gives a warning and then if you bump it again it goes off! I still have the cat plate installed but this is just a little something extra and it’s just $30.

Like the idea. Wonder how long the batteries last?

 

What about something like this (at least in concept) to deter... (I have no affiliation with this product nor know how loudt the alarm is, but I guess they can can drop a cat in about 2 mins so it may not be of much use)...https://www.fastguardalarms.com/products/tripwire-catalytic-converter-alarm

 

Friend of mine awoke to the sounds of her Cats being cut out of her 2008 Hyundai, her husband ran out to scare them off. They just cursed him, finished and drove off. Cops came ,did nothing but write a report.

 

The problem with these is false car alarms go off so regularly people generally ignore them.

 

They don't scare off without a weapon and now they're packing those as well.

 

Sad state of affairs

 

I had one of those alarms under my Truck before my plates came in, I forgot to disable it one time so it went off when I tried to remove it.

Under the truck, with all that metal for the sound to bounce off… it was unpleasant to say the least.

 

Anyone tried welding security plates? I know it can be PITA down the road if you have change them or sensors but maybe worth it?

 

That's a good idea.

 

This $30 alarm is to wake my azz up!!

 

"Estimated delivery Monday, June 06 by 7:00 P.M."

Peace of mind will be here shortly...

 

***This is a joke. I love this scene***

 

Fixed that for you.

 

Dang, that was fast!

 

Watch for sharp edges and cracking in the bends.

 

I asked him to make my edges extra sharp to cut the cat theives fingers.

 

That there is funny...

 

The UPS guy just delivered mine. Seriously. He's bleeding out on my porch. Call 911.

 

What happened to him?
