[QUOTE=LMB2000,Sep 17 2010, 07:22 AM]Was this to prevent theft?

 

What I have learnt is they are going to get it one way or the other. Why waste so much time and energy on all this? Would you be happy if they get pissed and damage your seats and inside of the car?

If someone wants to take something off of my car, take it..that is what I have insurance for but I am not going to do something to piss them off...although I'd love to catch them in action and....you know

 

It was very simple, and not very time consuming. I also printed the Kodokan seat lock stickers out for my windows. Hopefully that will deter them from attempting it.

 

Is 36 people really enough to manage this autocross? If so, are we going to do more than 8 runs?

 

BTW, I agree with Zo about the seats. I'd almost rather leave my doors unlocked all the time than to have my top cut or my windows smashed. I would NEVER lock my seats into place, and cause the theives to just vandalize the hell out of my car for nothing.

 

@ Gernby and Zo
Would you get the Kodokan seat locks then?
Original thread Here for those who dont know what I'm talking about.

 

Nope, I would not change anything.

My friend's GSR had top of the line alarm, backup battery for alarm and all that shiznit, talk about it and he had it...guess what...his car was stolen within an hour of parking outside his own apartment.

My stereo in prelude had special bolts that nobody could get out so the pulled the whole display that used to slide out and made is useless for me as well and while doing that they broke the whole center console cover and all the clips.

Since that day I have not changed a single bolt on the car that might make it hard for anyone to steal anything.

I'd rather not see my car or seats than see them in pieces or deal with a mess that someone else left behind for me to clean. Car is just never the same once it's vandalized.

 

I think 36 people should be good enough. 18 cars in every rungroup prolly and then even if we get 10 runs each, we should be able to wrap it all up by 3 at most and relax the rest of the day

 

Nope. I'm more inclined to leave a "seat theft kit" that includes the properly sized wrenches and some wet-wipes for their hands, so they don't mess up what they leave behind.

I've been burglarized / vandalized enough times over the last 24 years of car ownership to know that the worst part of it comes from frustrating the thieves / vandals.

 

36 people minus 3 course setup workers, minus 2 timer workers per group, minus 1 starter per grouip, minus 1 grid worker per group equals 25 people left for corner assignments. Those 25 people will be divided between 2 groups of 6 corner stations, so I guess that means there should still be 2 people per corner. Is my math right? If we don't have at least 2 people per corner, we will be REALLY challenged to manage the radio, flag AND shag cones.
