Re: What's your best theft deterrent ???

Chain & lock down the hood is a great deterrent. Helps prevent vandalism too.

Many years ago, me and several other tradesmen are working at a school in a sketchy neighborhood. My 70 GMC and a half dozen newer pickup trucks inside a fenced lot. Come out after coffee break and notice the hood partially raised on my GMC. Local thug in the process of snatching my battery. He ran away empty handed, lucky I was holding a lunch box and not my hammer!
That day after work, hood got a chain & padlock.
