I'll be buggered! Injuring a Car Thief's lug holes takes priority over a crime, serious or not ,although it could be a good thing. One day when he/she is imprisoned, & they will be. hearing probs means they cannot plan another job when Banged Up in Future Crime Planning Committee meetings.I reckon a secret kill switch on the fuel pump circuit. Similar on the starter has more limited deterrent features as the battery is relatively close to the starter for hot wiring.
Overly loud alarms are illegal, heavens to Betsey, we can't be injuring criminals.
I had a mate who owned a workshop. He was broken into, by cutting a hole in the tin wall, from the adjacent, vacant shed. The shed was repaired and tools replaced by the insurance company. Six weeks later the exact same thing happened. The police said it would have been the same crooks, they know it takes six weeks finalise the insurance claim.
My mate, John said that in six weeks, he and I would be waiting in the shed, with a bottle of rum and baseball bat each. The cop said that if we did so, we'd both be charged!
John's brother landed a job, selling alarms. The top of the range model was so loud, it affected people's balance. John had two fitted, diagonally opposite each other.
A month later, they were recalled as illegal. Apparently the owner could be charged with multiple offences, including assault and deprivation of liberty, if the alarm hurt or disabled a trespasser.
Makes sense to me.

We have them in main luggage, carry on, passport wallets..Couldn't be bothered with air tags everywhere.....Last time we had anything of value stolen was a company owned Panel Van in 1984.
Touch wood,but we are probably overdue for a visit from the thieves
We have two airtags,they go in our luggage when travelling.
Keys, vehicles, MTBs, Motorbike, Van, Boat, on the Dogs collars.
We even have one in the (6yo) Grandkids school shoes and backpack….

In the early nineties Mt Gravatt shopping centre was suffering from a large number of cars stolen from the car parks
Took a few months but when they finally caught them in the act so to speak they had a tilt tray tow truck
If anyone asked said they worked for RACQ which it seemed satisfied those who noticed what was going on. Very few asked as it all looked legitimate

SubscriberIt would. Only the owner would have known any different. But keeping on doing it was bound to get them caught, like a dog stealing eggs, just a matter of time.

When Holden came out with the trackers on their HSV range,probably mid 90’s,the thieves were still pinching them,then driving them into a container,so they couldn’t be detected.

SubscriberI used to fantasize about doing that with camera cars
