Plan to stop theives

[dooman24]

ok..
i thought of this...
it might work
but i don't know...
simple plan
all we need is a cell phone and CPS coop

i know most people have old used fido or rogers phones around not doing anything
lets put them into use
register them as pay as you go or something and get like a 10$ card

set the phone as auto answer
stick it under the dash or something hide it very well
once the car's stolen or gone
call it..
the phone auto answers
and then all we need is the cps to trace it and get the car back and bust them in action

and for battery
wire a car charger to the car and just leave the phone plugged and keep it charged
i mean like it's a simple plan that'll work
I THINK

good idea, but there are better ways of doing it...like some sort of tracking device.....but you cant just do it like that...it would have to be a bait car

[dooman24]

haha
haven't driven it since..
all i gotta go is play some subs loud again

I just love the looks on their faces.

sounds good.. only problem is.. i bet he'd serach the damn car and find the cell phone when he stole the car.

[dooman24]

all they want is the deck
after market parts
speakers
subs
why would they reach their hand somewhere like behind the passenger air bags to look for something
hwo would they know there's a cell phone there

unless you call.. set hte phone on speakers
and SCREAM you're busted FUCKERS
then they'll look for something LOL

Probably is tracking a cell phone. Don't know if CPS can do that accuratly enough.

or we set up a bait car @ UofC, like something flashy, wait in a nearby van with tinted windows, then all run out and curb stomp the scum

[l8braker]

^ they need to set up a few bait cars around the uni campus

Do we not have Lojack in Calgary? Or is it obsolete or something?

haha thats a great idea

[AllGoNoShow]

Lojack?

[spike98]

Viper has addon moduals for there alarms that does something like lojack. The CPS should be able to trace a cell within a few feet from the original signal BUT i doubt they would do it for something as low profile as a car theft. Now if it was a kidnapped girl or something then it would be easy as pie.....hmmmmm thinking about naming my car little sarah

ME: "911....OH MY GOD....LITTLE SARAH.....GONE!!!! SHE HAS MY CELLPHONE AND THERE IS ACTIVE CALL......ALL I HEAR IS DRIVING..."

911: "OMG we will trace that cellphone right away"


Is it illegal to refer to your car as little sarah?

[dooman24]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
you're not reall lying to them.. lol

[Phy]

Lojack.

Edit: Checked their site, guess it's U.S. only. Boomerang appears to offer a similar service but I don't think they operate in Calgary yet.

Watching too many CSI's . Triangulation is not that accurate. Some phones have built in GPS but not cheap ones. And not sure if network supports it or not.

Easiest way is just to sit outside and watch the car, wait till someone who isnt supposed to be in it goes and opens the door, sits inside it, then when 10 guys all of the sudden appear all around the window, he gives up fairly quickly if he is smart.

And while doing this the smart theives would ignore a heat bag car and steal your Civic hatchback.
